Patients in the first week post myocardial infarction are referred for early coronary angiography. Often, balloon dilatation is performed at the time of angiography. It is debatable which stenoses need dilatation and we would like to improve on the pre-cath information available by performing stress-MRI, using dobutamin as a physiological adjunct, in addition to infarct sizing with the late enhancement method (MRI).
