Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scanning in
patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) is
challenging due to potential arrhythmias and
difficulties in breath-holding. New free-breathing and
free-gating through-time radial GRAPPA sequences for
real time imaging are available. In patients with acute
ST elevation MI, we demonstrated the feasibility and
accuracy of real time imaging with through-time radial
GRAPPA and only 16 calibration data sets for the
assessment of LV function in comparison to standard
breath-hold techniques.
