Spatially resolved imaging of myocardial function with strain-encoded MR: comparison with delayed contrast-enhanced MR imaging after myocardial infarction.
Strain-encoded magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was prospectively evaluated for direct imaging of systolic myocardial strain and compared with cross-registered delayed contrast material-enhanced MR imaging in five healthy volunteers and nine patients with infarction. Local contractile performance was decreased in infarcted myocardium versus that in remote and adjacent myocardium (P < .01) and in...
متن کاملTranslation of Methdology used in Human Myocardial Imaging to a Sheep Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: Pre-clinical investigation of stem cells for repairing damaged myocardium predominantly used rodents, however large animals have cardiac circulation closely resembling the human heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) could be used for assessing sheep myocardium following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and response to int...
متن کاملQuantification of Regional Myocardial Function following Acute Myocardial Infarction by Ultrasonic Strain Rate and Strain Imaging
Objectives: The rapid diagnosis and early risk stratification of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is important. In experimental setting ultrasonic strain rate (SR) and strain (S) have been shown to identify changes in deformation predictive of ischemia. We sought to evaluate and compare regional myocardial function at “the risk zone” (ARZ) supplied by the culprit coron...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
متن کاملEmotional Triggers of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death around the world. Identification of triggers that lead to acute coronary events in ischemic heart diseases and their prevention can reduce the complications of myocardial infarction. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine emotional triggers in patients with acute Myocardial Infarction (MI). Materials and Metho...
