a 48-year old patient 2 days after infarction of the anteroseptal wall. Left column: LGE in segment 8, 13, 14 (red arrows), concomitant edema extends additionally into segments 2, 7, 16 (white arrows). Right column: Endo- and epicardially contoured basal, midventricular and apical cine short axis slices prepared for circumferential strain calculations with polar plot strain map. Infarcted segments display reduced SPCS values in the strain map. b 48-year old patient 35 days after infarction of the anteroseptal wall. Same patients as in a. Left column: LGE in segment 8, 13, 14 (red arrows), no concomitant edema; right column: Endo- and epicardially contoured basal, midventricular and apical cine short axis slices prepared for circumferential strain calculations with polar plot strain map. Infarcted segments display reduced SPCS values in the strain map
