• CMR can quantify regional myocardial function by analysis of wall thickening on cine images and strain analysis of tissue tagged images. • Strain analysis is superior to wall thickening in differentiating between different degrees of myocardial injury after acute myocardial infarction. • Peak circumferential strain is the most accurate marker of regional function.
