Upper panel: Systolic frame
in a short axis view showing
preserved wall thickness of
the lateral wall, but regional
akinesis of the anterolateral
and inferolateral segments
(arrows).
Lower panel: T2-weighted

infarct-related transmural
edema and matching
necrosis in dysfunctional
area. Both, T2-weighted and
late enhancement images
show central no-reflow
(arrowheads).
