Quantitative measurement of infarct size by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging early after acute myocardial infarction
OBJECTIVES The aim of this research was to evaluate kinetics and extent of myocardial contrast enhancement (CE) in comparison with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) early after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Quantification of infarct size serves as a surrogate end point in evaluating new therapies of AMI. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CeMRI) of th...
متن کاملMYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Imaging and characterization of acute myocardial infarction in vivo by gated nuclear magnetic resonance
Imaging by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques has been shown to provide high-contrast resolution between soft tissues and characterization of normal and pathologic tissues by differences in magnetic relaxation times. The current study was designed to determine whether electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated NMR imaging of the canine heart in vivo could distinguish normal from infarcted myocardiu...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in the diagnostics of myocardial infarction
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has a growing application in the diagnostics of myocardial infarction (MI). It is a non-invasive method that can be used regardless of the shape of patient's body. A single study allows assessment of the morphology and function of the cardiac muscle. It visualizes many pathophysiologic changes such as edema, microvascular obstruction (MVO) or necrosis, an...
متن کاملFerumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging assessing inflammation after myocardial infarction
OBJECTIVES Macrophages play a central role in the cellular inflammatory response to myocardial infarction (MI) and predict subsequent clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess temporal changes in cellular inflammation and tissue oedema in patients with acute MI using ultrasmallsuperparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (USPIO)-enhanced MRI. METHODS Thirty-one patients were recruited following acut...
