Sonicated echocardiographic contrast agents: reproducibility studies.
This article describes the production, analysis, and reproducibility of forming microbubbles for contrast ultrasound imaging. The sonication method used to generate microbubbles was tested by four independent observers, and a subsequent laser particle counter analysis of microbubble size and concentration determined the reproducibility of the method. The results indicated that the mean bubble s...
متن کاملMicroRNA-24 regulates vascularity after myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction leads to cardiac remodeling and development of heart failure. Insufficient myocardial capillary density after myocardial infarction has been identified as a critical event in this process, although the underlying mechanisms of cardiac angiogenesis are mechanistically not well understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Here, we show that the small noncoding RNA microRNA-2...
متن کاملBorder zone geometry increases wall stress after myocardial infarction: contrast echocardiographic assessment.
After myocardial infarction (MI), the border zone expands chronically, causing ventricular dilatation and congestive heart failure (CHF). In an ovine model (n = 4) of anteroapical MI that results in CHF, contrast echocardiography was used to image short-axis left ventricular (LV) cross sections and identify border zone myocardium before and after coronary artery ligation. In the border zone at ...
متن کاملDifferences in physician compliance with guideline on lipid profile determination within 24 h after acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines on blood lipid testing within 24 h of the onset of chest pain in patients with myocardial infarction. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This is a cross-sectional observational study on 83 patients (77 male, 6 female) admitted into the Coronary Care Units of the Al-Amiri and Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospitals, Kuwait wi...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: The study was taken up to evaluate the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in male patients. Method: A hospital based study was conducted at tertiary care centre in UP, India with 60 male healthy controls and 125 confirmed cases of AMI admitted to the coronary care unit who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. After a clinical examin...
