Differentiation of acute and four-week old myocardial infarct with Gd(ABE-DTTA)-enhanced CMR
BACKGROUND Standard extracellular cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) contrast agents (CA) do not provide differentiation between acute and older myocardial infarcts (MI). The purpose of this study was to develop a method for differentiation between acute and older myocardial infarct using myocardial late-enhancement (LE) CMR by a new, low molecular weight contrast agent.Dogs (n = 6) were s...
متن کاملTGF-β1 enhanced myocardial differentiation through inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway with rat BMSCs
Objective(s): To investigate and test the hypotheses that TGF-β1 enhanced myocardial differentiation through Wnt/β-catenin pathway with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Materials and Methods: Lentiviral vectors carrying the TGF-β1 gene were transduced into rat BMSCs firstly. Then several kinds of experimental methods were u...
متن کاملMyocardial Infarct Size by CMR in Clinical Cardioprotection Studies
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess myocardial infarct (MI) size in reperfused patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). BACKGROUND There is limited guidance on the use of CMR in clinical cardioprotection RCTs in patients with STEMI treated by primary percutaneous coronary i...
متن کاملThe impact of methodological and temporal variation on infarct size quantification in acute myocardial infarction with late enhancement CMR
Methods 55 patients with reperfused, first acute ST-elevation AMI underwent LGE-CMR on a Philips Achieva 3T scanner at 1 week and 6 months post AMI. IS was expressed as a percentage of LV volume and measured at both time points using: manual planimetry, signal intensity threshold indicating LGE set at 2, 3 and 5 standard deviations (SD) above the remote myocardium and the full width at half max...

liaison with a drug counselling service, this regimen could be easily undertaken in a primary care setting with the support of a local drug counselling service. While it is recognized that interpretation of the results may be limited by the small sample size, this lofexidine based regimen may provide the practitioner with an effective alternative method of patient detoxification from opiates wh...
