Abstract

BACKGROUND: The presence of infarction in patients with unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) is a critical feature in predicting adverse cardiac events. This study aimed to compare the detection rate of UMI using conventional and deep learning reconstruction (DLR)-based late gadolinium enhancement (LGE and LGE, respectively) and evaluate optimal quantification parameters to enhance diagnosis and management of suspected patients with UMI.
