Myocardial infarction (MI) is the major cause of sudden death in most industrialized society. Imaging of early disease progression and investigation of relationship between myocardial necrosis and successive inflammatory response are needed for optimal treatment of MI. We conducted cardiac MR imaging of disease progression in acute MI by using three different MRI methods of Gd (LGE), Mn (ME), and iron oxide nanoparticles (MNP)-based MRI for estimation of infarcted and inflammatory regions.
