	SIZE OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCT MEASURED USING MRI
		A variety of methods are currently used to determine the size of an infarct by MRI, such as visual cues, but these estimates have been shown in previous studies to overestimate damage by an average of 11 percent.
		Current methods for measuring the size of an infarct and assessing how much damage was done are highly subjective and arbitrary,” said senior study author and cardiologist João Lima, M.D., associate professor of medicine and radiology at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and its Heart Institute.
		When visual cues, the most commonly used method, were used, infarct size was measured with 69 percent accuracy.

		Although splenic infarct rates of 50% and 72% have been reported in chronic myelogenous leukemia and myelofibrosis respectively, few large series describing this entity exist.
		Most commonly, these infarcts contract and fibrose over time, as demonstrated by the sickle hemoglobinopathies in which repeated episodes of infarction ultimately result in auto-infarction of the spleen.
		Prior to the CT era, diagnosis of splenic infarct was made most commonly at laparotomy for intra-abdominal catastrophe or on postmortem examination.

		As these recurrent events are mainly due to the presence of an unstable residual stenosis of the infarct-related coronary artery, an effective therapy should include an invasive procedure like angioplasty to optimize coronary flow to the infarct area in high risk patients [11].
		Several post-infarction observational studies investigated viability as prognosticator and showed that the presence of viability in the infarct area was highly predictive for future coronary events like recurrent ischemia, recurrent infarction, left ventricular failure, and death [22-31].
		Patients admitted to any of the participating centers with an acute or recent myocardial infarction, who are not treated by direct or rescue angioplasty, and who are stable during the first 48 hours after the acute event, are screened for the study.

		Single ischemic or thromboembolic infarcts occurring in strategic areas of the dominant hemisphere (eg, angular gyri, mediodorsal thalamus, anterior thalamus) may cause a dementialike syndrome without the involvement of large volumes of cerebral matter.
		Multiple lacunar infarcts, mainly in the frontal white matter and basal ganglia, lead to progressive cognitive decline and finally dementia.
		In patients with VaD, multiple cortical, and more commonly subcortical, infarcts or single strokes affecting the thalamus, angular gyrus, and the territory supplied by the anterior cerebral arteries are observed.
