Objective To explore the application of cardiac enhanced MRI in acute myocardial infarction with normal result of coronary angiography. Methods On October 18, 2013, a male patient underwent coronary angiography under the local anesthesia. Mild coronary stenosis both in left and right side were found in the surgery, but the results of dynamic cardiogram and myocardial markers were abnormal, which accorded with the clinical procedure of myocardial infarction. The patient underwent cardiac enhanced MRI at the 6th day and was finally diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction. We reviewed the database to find out the significance of cardiac enhanced MRI in diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Results Although coronary angiography was the gold standard for the diagnosis of coronary diseases, it had limitations in the diagnosis of coronary eccentric stenosis, branch vascular stenosis and coronary spasm. Cardiac enhanced MRI had the advantages of accurate measurement of the attenuation of myocardium and exhibition of functional changes of ischemic myocardium. Conclusion Cardiac enhanced MRI is important for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction with normal result of coronary angiography.
