Translation 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 کاملAssessing myocardial salvage in reperfused STEMI patients by hybrid cardiac PET-MR imaging
To assess the efficacy of novel cardioprotective therapies for reducing myocardial infarct size, it is important to accurately measure the area at risk, as this is needed to assess myocardial salvage, a more sensitive measure of cardioprotection. Although T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a promising technique for quantifying the area at risk, this approach does hav...
متن کاملTrends in the Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in Patients with Myocardial Infarction in the South of Iran: 2008 to 2014
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Management of risk factors and the other prevention services in recent years lead to a significant decrease in AMI incidence. However, to examine the success of those strategies to control diabetes, this study aimed to identify the trends in prevalence of diabetes melli...
متن کاملEffect of endurance exercise training on morphological changes in rat heart tissue following experimental myocardial infarction
Introduction: Cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, is associated with progressive ventricular dysfunction and cardiovascular death. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of endurance exercise training on morphological changes in rat heart tissue following experimental myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: Rats used in this experiment (8-10 weeks old, 235 &p...
متن کاملThe assessment of area at risk and myocardial salvage after coronary revascularization in acute myocardial infarction: comparison between CMR and SPECT.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for assessment of area at risk, scar size, and salvage area after coronary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND Myocardial salvage is an important surrogate endpoint assessing the success of coronary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction. SPECT...
