6A: Variation of the wall motion score index (WMSI) from acute CMR to chronic CMR according to the degree of transmurality (assessed 10 or 25 minutes after the contrast injection). Note that there is a significant improvement in the WMSI at follow-up except when the transmurality index is > 75% and assessed at 25 minutes. 6B/6C/6D: End-diastolic (B), end-systolic (C) volumes and ejection fraction (D) at follow-up according to the degree of transmurality assessed in the acute CMR at 10 and 25 min post-contrast. Note that only patients with a transmurality index > 75% measured 25 minutes post-contrast present a significant increase in the end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes and a significant decrease in the ejection fraction at follow-up. rohandkumar1@ucla.edu
