Microvascular perfusion in the myocardium after infarction

This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

After myocardial infarction, lack of microvascular perfusion is associated with poor outcome, even in patients with an open infarct-related artery. Researchers in Spain analyzed myocardial perfusion in 40 patients with open infarct-related arteries using first-pass perfusion cardiovascular MRI, 1 week and 6 months after infarction. A 16-segment model was used in analysis of the images.
