Myocardial BOLD imaging at 3 T using quantitative T2: application in a myocardial infarct model.
Left ventricular remodeling as a result of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with significant morbidity, leading to cardiovascular dysfunction, disability, and death. Despite successful revascularization, coronary vasodilatory dysfunction has been shown in infarcted and remote myocardium of patients following AMI. Our study explored the utility of a T(2)-based blood-oxygen-level-d...
متن کاملTranslation of Methdology used in Human Myocardial Imaging to a Sheep Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: Pre-clinical investigation of stem cells for repairing damaged myocardium predominantly used rodents, however large animals have cardiac circulation closely resembling the human heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) could be used for assessing sheep myocardium following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and response to int...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T levels at 96 hours reflect myocardial infarct size: a pathoanatomical study.
We determined the utility of single-point measurements of circulating cardiac troponin T (cTnT) for the noninvasive estimation of infarct size in 16 beagle dogs after left anterior descending artery (LAD) ligation. Pathoanatomical infarct sizes were determined by the triphenyltetrazolium chloride method and correlated with serum concentration changes of cTnT. Peak cTnT levels (14.10 +/- 4.71 mi...
متن کاملWill 3D at 3-T make myocardial stress perfusion magnetic resonance imaging even more competitive?
Currently, two-dimensional (2D) adenosine stress myocardial perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses 3 to 4 cardiac slices to cover the left ventricular myocardium. Although the performance of 2D adenosine stress myocardial perfusion MRI has been shown to be equal or even better compared with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) because of its superior image resolut...
متن کاملTroponin T levels and infarct size by SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relationship between serial cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels with infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction by gated single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend the use of cTnT as the biomarker of choice for the diagnosis of A...
