From: Prognostic significance of non-infarcted myocardium correlated with microvascular impairment evaluated dynamically by native T1 mapping

Fig. 2

Native T1 values of remote myocardium in patients with and without MVO changed from 1 week to 6 months after MI dynamically. The native T1 value of remote myocardium in the first week was higher than those of 1 month. Inflammation of remote myocardium increased in the acute phase while diminished gradually during follow-up, and fibrosis of remote myocardium increased gradually. Native T1 values were determined by myocardial fibrosis in the chronic stage. The first patient had mural thrombosis in the apical during the first week. Compensatory thickening of the basal left ventricular septum was greater in patients with MVO than those without MVO
