Characterization of Myocardial Infarction Scar Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Characterization of Myocardial Infarction Scar Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The goal of this monocentric observationnal study is to describe the characteristics of the myocardial infarction scar in terms of transmurality in residual LVEF>35% patients.

The primary objective is to determine the frequency of the criterion "intramural scar ≥1.47cm2" (measured by MRI) in patients who presented with myocardial infarction with residual LVEF≥35%.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age ≥ 18 years ;
• History of acute coronary syndrome prior to inclusion and having undergone cardiac MRI;
• LVEF >35% measured at least 6 weeks post-IDM by echocardiography or MRI;

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient with an implantable cardiac device (implantable cardioverter defibrillator or pacemaker) prior to MRI.
