Abstract

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging EDITOR’S NOTE xxx want to welcome you to the December 2020 issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Robert J. Gropler, MD Imaging.

Due to its comprehensive and accurate quantification of left ventricular morphol- ogy and function and in-depth myocardial tissue characterization, cardiac magnet- ic resonance imaging (CMR) is increasing being used to risk-stratify patients after ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (MI). However, the limited availability and relatively high cost of CMR raises the question of which post–ST-segment– elevation MI patients would derive the most benefit from its use.
