This editorial refers to "Persistent diastolic dysfunction despite complete systolic functional recovery after reperfused acute myocardial infarction demonstrated by tagged magnetic resonance imaging"{dagger} by C.F. Azevedo et al. on page 1419

Over the last 15 years, tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart has emerged as an accurate non-invasive technique that provides detailed quantitative assessment of myocardial strain or deformation.1,2 In particular, it has been used to precisely characterise regional systolic intrinsic contractility of the left ventricle (LV) in experimental models of acute myocardial ischaemia3 and in patients with coronary artery disease.4 Recently, for the detection of myocardial ischaemia during pharmacological stress testing, the superiority of tagged MRI . . .
