Two-dimensional strain imaging of controlled rabbit hearts.
Ultrasound strain imaging using 2-D speckle tracking has been proposed to quantitatively assess changes in myocardial contractility caused by ischemia. Its performance must be demonstrated in a controlled model system as a step toward routine clinical application. In this study, a well-controlled 2-D cardiac elasticity imaging technique was developed using two coplanar and orthogonal linear pro...
متن کاملNADH Fluorescence Imaging of Isolated Biventricular Working Rabbit Hearts
Since its inception by Langendorff(1), the isolated perfused heart remains a prominent tool for studying cardiac physiology(2). However, it is not well-suited for studies of cardiac metabolism, which require the heart to perform work within the context of physiologic preload and afterload pressures. Neely introduced modifications to the Langendorff technique to establish appropriate left ventri...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Strain Imaging: Basic principles and Technical Consideration.
Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and TDI-derived strain provide considerably accurate information in the non-invasive assessment of local myocardial functions. Given its high temporal and spatial resolution, TDI allows assessment of local myocardial functions in each phase of cardiac cycle. However, the most important limitation of this method is its angle dependence. New techniques to measure myoc...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Perfused Rabbit Epicardium
Background. Prolonged membrane depolarization induced by an electric shock in the heart may produce propagation block leading to repetitive beats. We studied prolonged depolarization and its role in repetitive beats in a thin epicardial layer of endocardially prefrozen arterially perfused rabbit heart. Methods and Results. A laser scanner recorded optical action potentials at 63 sites within a ...
متن کاملCorrelation analysis of three-dimensional strain imaging using ultrasound two-dimensional array transducers.
Two-dimensional (2D) transducer arrays represent a promising solution for implementing real time three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound elastography. 2D arrays enable electronic steering and focusing of ultrasound beams throughout a 3D volume along with improved slice thickness performance when compared to one-dimensional (1D) transducer arrays. Therefore, signal decorrelation caused by tissue motio...
