The amount of myocardium at risk (MaR) during acute coronary occlusion and the duration of occlusion are important determinants of final infarct size. The main goal of early reperfusion therapy is to salvage ischemic myocardium, thereby preserving left ventricular function. The aims of the present study were to test the feasibility of developing polar plot representations of MaR, for perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), regional wall thickening by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and distribution of ST-segment changes. A second aim was to test the hypothesis that these different modalities display similar localization of the MaR in patients with reperfused first-time myocardial infarction.
