From: Hemorrhage promotes inflammation and myocardial damage following acute myocardial infarction
Representative CMR images from animals in Groups 1 and 3. T2*-weighted images (TE = 16 ms) demonstrate hemorrhage in both groups (arrows) but greater in Group 3. T2-weighted images (TE = 88 ms) identify elevated signal or edema (arrows) in the periphery of the hemorrhage or infarct core. Note that hemorrhage with greater ischemic insult in Group 3 is associated with a larger infarct size and the presence of MVO (arrow). Infarction was minimal in Group 1.
