Mid-ventricular vertical long-axis slices at baseline and at 6 months obtained from late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images (right panel) and cine-MRI at end-diastole (ED, left panel) and end-systole (ES, middle panel), with LV parameters (EF for ejection fraction; EDV for end diastolic volume and MVO for % of LV area with microvascular obstruction), in 3 representative cases of anterior infarction and 6-month increase(s): #1) in EF only and a 6-month decrease in TPVR (-8 mmHg.min.m2.L-1), #2) in EDV only and no clear change in TPVR (-1 mmHg.min.m2.L-1) and #3) in both EDV and EF and a 6-month decrease in TPVR (-11 mmHg.min.m2.L-1)
