Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the gold-standard technique for imaging of myocardial scar. The basic principle is inversion-recovery imaging after a 5- to 10-min delay following intravenous administration of gadolinium contrast ([1][1]). With
