Cardiovascular imaging of myocardial viability after acute myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. In patients with myocardial infarction, the extent and severity of ischemic injury are important prognostic factors for mortality and morbidity. After myocardial infarction, there is a window of opportunity in which interventi...
