Magnetic resonance imaging and multi-detector computed tomography assessment of extracellular compartment in ischemic and non-ischemic myocardial pathologies

Table 1 Multi-detector computed tomography quantification of extracellular volume in patchy microinfarct caused by microemboli, contiguous homogeneous infarct caused by left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and remote undamaged myocardium

Intervention	Remote myocardium	Infarcted region
16 mm3 and 3 d (AMI)	25 ± 4	33 ± 4a
32 mm3 and 3 d (AMI)	24 ± 2	40 ± 1ac
90 min LAD and 3 d (AMI)	24 ± 1	54 ± 4ae
90 min LAD and 5 wk (scar)	18 ± 2g	68 ± 4ag

^aP < 0.05 vs remote myocardium;

^cP < 0.05 vs 16 mm³ microemboli volume;

^eP < 0.05 vs 32 mm³ microemboli volume;

^gP < 0.05 vs 90 min coronary artery occlusion/reperfusion at 3 d. AMI: Acute myocardial infarct.
