Myocardial infarction and corresponding myocardial perfusion defect caused by a subtotal occlusion of a left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in a 57-year old female patient with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. a Longitudinal view of the left ventricle (multiplanar reformat) demonstrating a large perfusion defect in the anterior wall that is also depicted in the short-axis view (arrows, b). c As demonstrated in curved maximum intensity projection, the subtotal occlusion was located in the mid LAD segment just distal to a stent in the proximal coronary segment, which had been placed 3 months earlier due to a significant lesion detected on elective invasive angiography
