• To review cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) protocols in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).• Examine CMR sequences used in AMI and what information each of them provides: “must have” sequences and novel sequences that soon will be “must haves”.• Provide a simple guide to interpreting CMR in AMI with endpoints and dobutamine stress imaging.• Outcomes and follow up.

1. A review of the impact of CMR in AMI.2. A review Imaging sequences: what you must have and what is novel.a. Must have: Scout, FSE, SSPF, T2, T2*, first pass perfusion, LGE.b. Novel: T1 and T2 Mapping and 3D angiography.c. Dobutamine stress.3. A step-by-step approach to sequence integration and interpretation in AMI.a. What each sequence means and how to proceed.4. Viability and myocardial salvage reasoning and interpretation algorithm in CMR for AMI.5. Outcomes and follow up.a. Complications: Aneurysm, thrombus, wall rupture.
