A 74-year-old man returned to the clinic for follow-up of residual nonculprit lesions after reperfused acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Stress cardiac magnetic resonance perfusion imaging demonstrated a severe perfusion defect in the anterior wall. Surprisingly, subsequent invasive assessment did not reveal hemodynamically significant obstruction in the nonculprit vessels. (Level of Difficulty: Beginners.)
