CMR examinations were conducted with a Philips 1.5-Tesla Achieva whole-body scanner (Philips Healthcare) equipped with a 16-element phased-array cardiac coil. At all time points, the imaging protocol included a standard segmented cine steady-state free-precession sequence to provide high-quality anatomic references; a T2-weighted short-tau triple inversion-recovery (T2W-STIR) sequence to assess the extent of edema and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH); and a T2-gradient-spin-echo mapping sequence to provide precise myocardial T2 relaxation time properties.16 (link) On day 7 and day 40 CMR, LGE imaging was performed to assess infarct size and microvascular obstruction (MVO), using a T1-weighted inversion recovery turbo field echo sequence acquired 10 to 15 minutes after intravenous administration of 0.20 mmol gadobutrol contrast agent per kg body weight.
