Fig. 2B —68-year-old man with acute myocardial infarction. This case
shows importance of comprehensive evaluation in cardiac CT. Short-axis image
during diastole in arterial phase shows decreased perfusion over infralateral
wall (between arrows) involving posterior papillary muscles
(black arrowhead). Compare density of anterior (white
arrowhead) and posterior (black arrowhead) papillary muscle.
Involvement of infralateral wall and posterior papillary muscle is prognostic
of ischemic mitral regurgitation. See also cine image, Figure S2B, in
supplemental data online.
