Popis: controls. The infarct-related artery (IRA) was the LAD, LCx and RCA in 31%, 12%, and 57% of patients, respectively. All patients showed hyperenhancement on DECMR matching the IRA territory. The median infarct size was 11% (IQR 5-19) with a mean infarct transmurality of 57±16%. The sensitivity of echocardiography to detect SWMA was 80.3% in the acute, and 65.0% in the chronic phase; the specificity was 80.6%. In patients with unrecognized MI, infarcts were smaller (6% [IQR 3-12] vs. 15% [IQR 9-23], p
