Popis: Methods Patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery were prospectively enrolled to undergo cardiac MRI before and three months after surgery. On a mid left ventricular (LV) short axis cine image the positions of myocardial landmarks were ascertained relative to a stationary anterior reference point. Systolic wall thickening (SWT) in the mid septum was assessed on the same images. Viability images and echocardiography results were also reviewed.
