The absence of LGE on CMR in patients with type 1 AMI is a new finding. While insufficient spatial resolution of LGE imaging, delayed CMR performance, spontaneous reperfusion, and coronary collaterals may provide some explanations, further investigations are required to fully understand this phenomenon.
