Tissue structure in the infarct and remote zone myocardium post-acute myocardial infarction (MI) may offer prognostic information concerning left ventricular remodeling. We aimed to identify or establish a relationship between adverse remodeling (AR) and changes (Δ) in T1, T2 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) in post MI periods. Fifty-four MI patients underwent 3 Tesla CMR performed 2 weeks (acute phase) and 6 months post-MI. We measured T1 mapping with MOLLI sequences and T2 mapping with TrueFISP sequences. Hematocrit was quantified in scanning time. ECV was performed post-gadolinium enhancement. AR was defined as an increase of ≥ 10% in left ventricular end-diastolic volume in 6 months. In the acute phase post-MI, high T2 relaxation times of the infarct and remote zone myocardium were associated with AR (OR 1.15, p = 0.023 and OR 1.54, p = 0.002, respectively). There was a decrease in T2 relaxation times of the remote zone myocardium at 6 months in patients with AR (42.0 ± 4.0 vs. 39.0 ± 3.5 ms, p < 0.001), while insignificant difference was found in patients without AR. Increased ΔECV (%) and decreased remote ΔT2 values were associated with AR (OR 1.04, p = 0.043 and OR 0.77, p = 0.007, respectively). The diagnostic performance analysis in predicting AR showed that acute-phase remote T2 was similar to that of remote ΔT2 (p = 0.875) but was superior to that of ΔECV (%) (ΔAUC: 0.19 ± 0.09, p = 0.038). In both acute phase and change of 6 months post-MI, the T2 relaxation times in remote myocardium are independently associated with AR, and this suggests higher inflammation in the remote myocardium in the AR group than the other group, even though no significant pathophysiological difference was observed in the healing of the infarct zone between both groups.
