This editorial refers to "Visualization and quantification of peri-operative myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass surgery with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging"1 by J. Steuer et al. on page 1293
In this issue of the journal, Steuer et al.1 describe the application of delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the identification, characterisation and quantification of peri-operative myocardial infarction. Contrast-enhanced MRI was performed 49 days after coronary bypass surgery. Hyper-enhanced myocardial areas, representing myocardial
