Background Four‐dimensional (4D) flow cardiac magnetic resonance (cardiac MR) imaging provides quantification of intracavity left ventricular (LV) flow kinetic energy (KE) parameters in three dimensions. ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients have been shown to have altered intracardiac blood flow compared to controls; however, how 4D flow
