Quantification and MRI validation of regional contractile dysfunction in mice post myocardial infarction using high resolution ultrasound.

چکیده
A versatile, computationally efficient two-dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking method based on high resolution ultrasound imaging is proposed to quantify regional myocardial dysfunction in mice. Ultrasound scans were performed on the hearts of normal and post myocardial infarction (MI) mice with a Vevo770 scanner (VisualSonics, Toronto, Canada) operating at 30 MHz frequency. Regional myocardial motion was tracked using a 2D minimum sum of absolute differences (MSAD) block-matching algorithm. Motion analyses calculated from ultrasound images were compared with gold-standard analyses performed using small animal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The radial and circumferential components of strain were compared between ultrasound and MRI short axis views and promising correlations were obtained (r = 0.90 and r = 0.85 for radial and circumferential strain, respectively). Therefore, ultrasound imaging, followed by 2D image tracking, provides an effective, low cost, mobile method to quantify murine cardiac function accurately and reliably.

Early assessment of infarct size by feature tracking cardiac MRI in patients with myocardial infarction
Background The degree and quantification of contractile dysfunction and myocardial scar in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has important prognostic implications. Myocardial deformation parameters like strain and strain rate have been shown to be more sensitive markers for contractile dysfunction than standard 2-D parameters. We sought to investigate whether strain and strain ra...
متن کاملDirect comparison of high‐temporal‐resolution CINE MRI with Doppler ultrasound for assessment of diastolic dysfunction in mice
Diastolic dysfunction is a sensitive early indicator of heart failure and can provide additional data to conventional measures of systolic function. Transmitral Doppler ultrasound, which measures the one-dimensional flow of blood through the mitral valve, is currently the preferred method for the measurement of diastolic function, but the measurement of the left ventricular volume changes using...

متن کاملImpact of coronary revascularization and transmural extent of scar on regional left ventricular remodelling.
AIMS Transmural extent (TME) of myocardial scar, contractile reserve, and perfusion all predict improvement in regional myocardial function after coronary revascularization. We sought their association with regional remodelling after infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 89 patients (age 62 +/- 10 years) with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, at least 1 month post infarction. Viability ...
متن کاملAnalysis of right ventricular function in healthy mice and a murine model of heart failure by in vivo MRI.
Because of its complex geometry, assessment of right ventricular (RV) function is more difficult than it is for the left ventricle (LV). Because gene-targeted mouse models of cardiomyopathy may involve remodeling of the right heart, the purpose of this study was to develop high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for in vivo quantification of RV volumes and global function in...
