Cover Story: In recent decades, new techniques have been developed that provide accurate information about necrotic myocardial tissue following acute myocardial infarction. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has emerged as a tool for the precise estimation of the development of infarct size when measured serially. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests coronary collaterals may play an important role in myocardial salvage and cardiac function. What is the relationship between infarct size measured using serial CMR and well-developed coronary collaterals? Could stratifying patients in acute situations according to the Cohen–Rentrop score prove beneficial? View this paper
