Measurement of Myocardial Blood Flow

چکیده
A"CLOSED" method for the accurate measurement of myocardial blood flow is still to be achieved. In 1956, Henly et al. described an indicator-dilution technique for assessing myocardial blood flow. This approach led us to construct a suitable model for simulating a systemic-coronary circuit. Observations with this system suggested that an indicator-dilution technique might be applicable to measuring myocardial blood flow in the intact animal, and the method was, therefore, adapted to the dog. This paper details our experiences with the model system and the intact animal.

Effect of Post-Reconstruction Gaussian Filtering on Image Quality and Myocardial Blood Flow Measurement with N-13 Ammonia PET
Objective(s): In order to evaluate the effect of post-reconstruction Gaussian filtering on image quality and myocardial blood flow (MBF) measurement by dynamic N-13 ammonia positron emission tomography (PET), we compared various reconstruction and filtering methods with image characteristics. Methods: Dynamic PET images of three patients with coronary artery disease (male-female ratio of 2:1; a...

The circulatory responses to high equinalgesic doses of morphine are compared with those of pethidin. The decrease in mean arterial blood pressure in case of morphine was 28p.c., with a paralleled and identical decrease in total peripheral resistance and no negative inotropic effects. Pethidine decreased blood pressure 54p.c., as a result of peripheral vasodilation of 46p.c. and a sharp drop...

Objectives: There has been no method which can measure regional myocardial blood flow in real-time and continuously. The purpose of this study was to validate myocardial blood flow measurement using a thermal diffusion method. For this purpose, myocardial blood flow measurement was performed using the thermal diffusion method and the electrolytic hydrogen clearance method. Methods: Seven pigs w...
