We examined the influence of several infarct characteristics, including MO, on LV remodeling in an optimally treated post\u2013acute myocardial infarction cohort, using contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              One hundred patients (mean age, 58.9\u00b112 years, 77%men) underwent contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance at baseline (\u22484 days) and at 12 and 24 weeks. The effects on LV remodeling (ie, change in LV end-systolic volume index [\u0394LVESVi]) of infarct site, transmurality, endocardial extent, and the presence of early and late MO were analyzed. Mean baseline infarct volume index decreased from 34.0 (21.2) mL\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              to 20.9 (12.9) mL\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              at 24 weeks (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001).
