Myocardial Extracellular Volume Estimation by CMR Predicts Functional Recovery Following Acute MI.

Adding acute ECV analysis to a 50% LGE transmural extent cutoff for prediction of wall motion improvement in dysfunctional segments increased sensitivity from 61% to 75% and specificity from 71% to 85%, and showed a trend toward improved prediction of convalescent wall motion score ( Figure 6 ) and functional recovery ( Online Figure 2 ) across the range of LGE transmural extent.
