Rapid Diagnosis of Myocardial Damage and Coronary Stenosis With Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Rapid Diagnosis of Myocardial Damage and Coronary Stenosis With MRI

The hypothesis is that single-shot imaging of myocardial infarction is possible in atrial fibrillation using MRI late enhancement technique

50 outpatients in Jonkoping County with a diagnosis of in-hospital myocardial infarction, are asked to participate in this study comparing segmented true FISP late enhancement with single-shot trueFISP late enhancement for the diagnosis of myocardial damage. The study does not intervene regarding treatment but is a comparison of the diagnostic power of the two MRI techniques.

Inclusion Criteria:

in-hospital diagnosis of myocardial infarction

Exclusion Criteria:

pacemaker, not willing to participate, metallic objects in brain or eyes,
