Characterization of Myocardial Infarction Scar Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Central Hospital, Nancy, France150 enrolled

Overview

The goal of this monocentric observationnal study is to describe the characteristics of the myocardial infarction scar in terms of transmurality in residual LVEF\>35% patients. The primary objective is to determine the frequency of the criterion "intramural scar ≥1.47cm2" (measured by MRI) in patients who presented with myocardial infarction with residual LVEF≥35%.
