Can a cardiac MRI check for myocardial infarction?

Cardiac MRI

is a non-invasive imaging technique that can detect damage to the heart muscle and observe the morphology and structure of the heart muscle. If it is caused by acute myocardial infarction, cardiac MRI can generally detect myocardial damage. However, cardiac MRI takes a long time to examine, and it is recommended to do ECG, coronary angiography, radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging and blood tests, which are usually more accurate.

If acute myocardial infarction is diagnosed, active intervention is required to minimize damage to heart function.
