(Biomedical Engineering) Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging of Myocardial Performance

Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major disease posing significant threat to human health, as it leads necrosis of numerous cardiomyocytes (CMs), left ventricle dilation, and cardiac dysfunction, ultimately resulting in heart failure. Owing the shortage donors shortcomings current clinical treatment methods, resources have been dedicated developing platforms for tissue engineering, inclu...

At present, cardiac diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Recently, a cell-based regenerative medicine has appeared as one of the most potential and promising therapies for improving cardiac diseases. As a new generational cell-based regenerative therapy, tissue engineering is focused. Our laboratory has originally developed cell sheet-based scaffold-free tissue en...
