From: Acute reperfusion intramyocardial hemorrhage leads to regional chronic iron deposition in the heart
Patient Studies - Representative CMR images (A; acquired from a 42-year old patient following successful angioplasty for first STEMI) with significant T2* loss (arrows) at the site of acute and chronic myocardial infarction (identified by LGE imaging, arrows) are shown. Mean T2* of Hemo+ (B) was 40% lower than that of Hemo- and remote myocardium (p<0.001) on both acute and chronic CMR studies.
