Microvascular injury (MVO and intramyocardial hemorrhage) after reperfusion in acute MI: pathophysiology, consequences and role of noninvasive imaging
- Microvascular injury after reperfusion in acute MI has emerged as a driving force behind MACE post-infarction
- Serial noninvasive imaging has played a central role in understanding progressive myocardial damage from onset of microvascular injury to months and years after
