A 73-year-old man presented with suspected acute myocardial infarction at the outpatient clinic. However, the clinical symptoms and the laboratory findings were not diagnostic. Only emergency cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was helpful in making a definitive diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Cardiac MRI is a useful diagnostic tool for suspected acute coronary syndrome in emergency room settings when conventional modalities do not provide a definitive diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
