TLDR
Post-infarction patients with frequent PVCs may have a reversible form of cardiomyopathy and DE-MRI may identify patients in whom the LVEF may improve after ablation of frequent PVCe, which was successful in 15 of 15 patients.

The use of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging to identify reversible myocardial dysfunction.

TL;DR: Reversible myocardial dysfunction can be identified by contrast-enhanced MRI before coronary revascularization and is strongly related to the degree of improvement in the global mean wall-motion score and the ejection fraction after Revascularization.
