Abstract: Background The border zone of myocardial scar after myocardial infarction (MI) plays an important role for arrhythmia formation. For this reason, high-resolution 3D information of scar tissue for planning of electrophysiological interventions after MI is highly desirable. This study evaluates sharpness of the borders (SB) of scar after MI by a self-navigated isotropic 3D free-breathing wholeheart magnetic resonance with inversion recovery (3DSN-IR) in comparison to a standard 2D inversion recovery sequence.
