We report on the MR appearance of acute myocardial infarction in a 61‐year‐old man with Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome using motion‐independent, T2‐weighted echo train spin echo and immediate post‐gadolinium three‐dimensional gradient echo imaging performed as an MRI angiographic study of the aortic arch. The region of acute infarction was of high signal intensity on the T2‐weighted images and demonstrated greatly diminished enhancement on the immediate post‐gadolinium three‐dimensional gradient echo images. MRI findings showed good correlation with autopsy specimens obtained within 24 hours of the MRI study. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 1999; 9:362–365. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
