Myocardial tactile stiffness: a variable of regional myocardial function.
OBJECTIVES We developed a new sensor system for in situ measurement of myocardial tactile stiffness-stiffness in a direction perpendicular to the wall-and validated its use for providing a reasonable estimation of regional myocardial function. BACKGROUND Numerous attempts have been made to directly assess regional myocardial function. The complexity and highly invasive nature of the measuring...
متن کامل[Assessment of regional myocardial function by ECG-gated myocardial SPECT].
PURPOSES Regional myocardial functional parameters were assessed by ECG-gated myocardial SPECT analysis in normal subjects and ischemic heart diseases. METHODS Normal subjects (13 male and 10 female) and 51 patients with chronic ischemic heart disease underwent ECG-gated myocardial SPECT. A dose of 740 MBq of 99mTc-MIBI was injected at rest, and gated SPECT was performed 60 min later. Wall mo...
متن کاملRegional Quantification of Myocardial Stiffness Using MR Elastography
Introduction: The mechanical properties of the myocardium are known to be essential for normal cardiac function [1-4]. Myocardial stiffness is known to be a highly significant diagnostic and prognostic metric in myocardial infarction. Ex vivo stretching techniques are performed without in vivo loading conditions, and without in vivo myocardial geometry, hence they are not applicable clinically....

متن کاملRecovery of regional myocardial function and myocardial oedema following reperfused acute myocardial infarction
We investigated the relationship between myocardial oedema and recovery of regional myocardial function in patients with acute reperfused myocardial infarction (MI). Early after acute MI, oedema in the peri-infarct zone, as delineated by T2 weighted (T2w) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, demonstrated significantly reduced strain as compared to remote myocardium. The recovery of ...
