From: Anterior STEMI associated with decreased strain in remote cardiac myocardium
Example of strain and infarct delineations in a patient with STEMI in the LAD in the sub-acute (top row) and chronic (bottom row) phase. A–D show a patient in the sub-acute phase (2–6 days) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), and E–H show the same patient in the chronic phase 6 months after the STEMI. The end-diastolic delineations of the left ventricular myocardial borders in red are illustrated in the 4-chamber view (A, E), 3-chamber view (B, F) and 2-chamber view (C, G). Infarct delineation is illustrated in one midventricular short-axis late gadolinium enhancement image (D, H) with epicardial contour (green), endocardial contour (red), extent infarction (pink) and core of infarction (yellow)
