| Measure | Time frame |

| Main Objective: To gain first data on the comparison of Gadovist® with Magnevist® and Dotarem® with regard to the degree of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in infarcted myocardium;Secondary Objective: • To assess SNR and CNR of Late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE) until 45 minutes after injection of contrast media • To assess the kinetic behaviour of LGE over 45 minutes after contrast agent injection;Primary end point(s): Infarct size on LGE images expressed as percentage of total left ventricular myocardial mass (Gadovist® vs. Magnevist® vs. Dotarem®) | — |
