Abstract
In survivors of acute myocardial infarction (MI), the initial size of infarction is associated with long-term prog-nosis. This article addresses the role of contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in determining the presence and extent of MI. Contrast-enhanced CMR is widely accepted as the reference method for imaging infarct size. The principles involved in contrast-enhanced CMR imaging of MI will be considered, including pathophysiology, gadolinium contrast kinetics, and imaging methods. The different approaches to measuring infarct size with CMR will also be discussed.
