THE CARDIAC BLUR SIGN OF THE POST INFARCTION MYOCARDIAL SCAR

ISAAC SANDERS M.D.1 and MERLIN E. WOESNER M.D.2

1 Director of Training, Radiological Sciences; Associate Clinical Professor of Radiology, Loma Linda University School of Medicine.
2 Chief of Diagnostic Radiology; Associate Clinical Professor of Radiology, Loma Linda University School of Medicine.

The cardiac blur sign refers to the loss of distinctness of some portion of the left cardiac border on the conventional frontal chest roentgenogram.

When triangulated with appropriate historical and electrocardiographic data, it has often proven to be the roentgenologic pathologic correlate of a myocardial scar of the anterolateral wall of the left ventricle.

The mechanism, limitations, and differential diagnosis of this finding are discussed.
