Example CMR images illustrating the measurement of myocardium at risk and infarct. The left image shows one time-frame from a mid-ventricular stack of a CE-SSFP cine stack. The green line denotes epicardium, the red line endocardium and the white line the borders of myocardium at risk. The right image shows the corresponding slice from a late gadolinium enhancement stack used to quantify infarct size using a previously published method [33]. In short, the yellow line shows the area of interest while the inner pink line takes intensities and partial volume effects into account. MaR in this patient was 23% of LVM, infarct size was 7% of LVM and the resulting myocardial salvage index was 70% of the MaR
