Full left ventricular coverage is essential for the accurate quantification of the area-at-risk by T1 and T2 mapping

Abstract T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using a 3-slice approach has been shown to accurately quantify the edema-based area-at-risk (AAR) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to compare the performance of a 3-slice approach to full left ventricular (LV...
