Abstract
We read with interest the article by Steuer et al., recently published in the Journal.1 The authors attempted to visualize and quantify the amount of irreversible myocardial injury related to the coronary artery bypass procedure using delayed enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). As suggested by the authors and the related editorial in the Journal,2 the clinical utilization of this approach would be confounded by the inability of delayed enhancement to differentiate acute, newly developing infarcts from chronic myocardial scars.Keywords
