Correlation of Scar in Cardiac MRI and High‐Resolution Contact Mapping of Left Ventricle in a Chronic Infarct Model
BACKGROUND Endocardial mapping for scars and abnormal electrograms forms the most essential component of ventricular tachycardia ablation. The utility of ultra-high resolution mapping of ventricular scar was assessed using a multielectrode contact mapping system in a chronic canine infarct model. METHODS Chronic infarcts were created in five anesthetized dogs by ligating the left anterior des...
متن کاملWhole mount heart histology: a new gold standard for myocardial damage validation in experimental cardiac MRI studies?
Introduction: Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) stain is commonly used for the validation of myocardial damage in experimental cardiac MRI studies using various animal species such as mice, dogs and pigs [1-3]. However, subtle myocardial damage, border zone or infarct heterogeneity associated with myocardial infarction (MI) is difficult to recognize on TTC stains. Although targeted microscopi...
متن کاملCharacterization of Post-infarct Scars in a Porcine Model - A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
Arrhythmias are often associated with healing infarcts and could arise from the border zone of the scars. The main purpose of this work was to characterize the infarct scars using in vivo electro-anatomic CARTO maps (recorded in sinus rhythm) and high-resolution ex-vivo MR images in a porcine model of chronic infarct. The MR images were segmented into scar, peri-infarct and healthy ventricular ...
متن کاملAdvanced methods for quantification of infarct size in mice using three-dimensional high-field late gadolinium enhancement MRI.
Conventional methods to quantify infarct size after myocardial infarction in mice are not ideal, requiring either tissue destruction for histology or relying on nondirect measurements such as wall motion. We therefore implemented a fast, high-resolution method to directly measure infarct size in vivo using three-dimensional (3D) late gadolinium enhancement MRI (3D-LGE). Myocardial T1 relaxation...
متن کاملManganese-Enhanced MRI Combined with Delayed Enhancement MRI Detects Injured Border Zone Myocardium in a Pig Ischemia-Reperfusion Model
Background: Ischemic heart disease remains a leading cause of death. Improved, non-invasive detection of viable myocardium would lead to more effective therapy for ischemic cardiomyopathy. Delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) with gadolinium (Gd) identifies the scarred, non-viable morphology of the myocardium. This signal does not provide any direct cell viability information. On the other hand, ma...
