Case 1
65 yr male3 weeks of SOB and chest painAdmitted with trop positive acute coronary syndrome
Angiogram: severe three vessel disease very poor left ventricular function
Usual management:Too high risk for surgery with damaged heart so medical treatment with poor prognosis
Management at

Change in management following MRI:Accepted for bypass surgery with good prognosisAnother patient
showing white area of dead heart muscle
Case 270 yr old maleSudden onset troponin positive of chest pain
Angiogram:Severe narrowings in all three main vessels
Usual treatment:Try to stent all three vessels [putting patient at risk of prolonged procedure plus requiring at least 2 guides, 2 wires, several balloons, 6 stents (£800 each)]
Cardiac MRI:Left coronary territory dead so no need to treatRight coronary territory gets blood from circumflex so no need to treatCircumflex territory alive and important so treat
Management change after MRI:Only treat one vessel with one stent
Narrowing before
No narrowing after x1 stent
Blocked arteryNarrow
