Estimation of myocardial infarct size with ultrasonic tissue characterization.
BACKGROUND Ultrasonic tissue characterization (UTC) can distinguish normal from infarcted myocardium. Infarcted myocardium shows an increase in integrated backscatter and loss of cardiac cycle-dependent variation in backscatter. The cyclic variation of backscatter is closely related to regional myocardial contractile function; the latter is a marker of myocardial ischemia. The present study was...
متن کاملEstimation of Acute Myocardial Infarct Size
This study was performed to determine the relationship between myocardial infarct size estimated by serum CK-MB methods and the extent of irreversible injury in acute myocardial infarction. In 321 consecutive patients, infarct size was estimated by different mathematical models, and in 22 patients who died in hospital, the extent of myocardial necrosis was determined by autopsy. We also investi...
متن کاملRapid estimation of myocardial infarct size.
See article by de Groot et al. [9] (pages 315 –324) in this limitation of enzymatic infarct size [7]. Earlier, we demonissue. strated that thrombolytic therapy had no influence on the relation between infarct size estimated with aHBDH and Although the use of biochemical markers of acute left ventricular performance, indicating that coronary remyocardial infarction started in 1954 [1], their val...
متن کاملMyocardial ultrasonic tissue characterization in patients with thyroid dysfunction
BACKGROUND Structural myocardial abnormalities have been extensively documented in hypothyroidism. Experimental studies in animal models have also shown involvement of thyroid hormones in gene expression of myocardial collagen. This study was planned to investigate the ability of ultrasonic tissue characterization, as evaluated by integrated backscatter (IBS), to early identify myocardial invol...
متن کاملRelationship Between Myocardial Infarct Size
We compared myocardial infarct size produced by permanent occlusion of the middle left anterior descending (LAD) or circumflex (LCx) coronary artery in the anesthetized dog. The dogs were killed 3-10 days later, and the occluded coronary bed was visualized by postmortem arteriography. The outlines of the infarct and occluded bed were marked on tracings of weighed left ventricular (LV) rings and...
