Abstract：The accurate quantifications of infarcted myocardium, myocardial viability and microvascular obstruction (MVO) are essential for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) including dangerous degree classification, treatment decisions making, evaluation of therapeutic effect and prognosis evaluation. Late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) imaging is available for quantitative evaluation of infarcted myocardium, viable myocardium and MVO due to its high spatial and temporal resolution. It has good repeatability and high accuracy in the application of AMI evaluation. In this paper, we reviewed the current application and research status of LGE-CMR in AMI.
