<p><i>Cardiac 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging 4 weeks after admission</i>. (a) T2-weighted black-blood images show no significant high-intensity signal. (b) Late-gadolinium enhancement shows no significant focal high-intensity signal. (c) Native T1 mapping analysis shows mildly elevated values: (1) anterior wall, 1193.01±36.34 msec, (2) septal wall, 1193.05±32.03 msec, and (3) posterolateral wall, 1198.87±42.86 msec.</p>
