چکیده

BACKGROUND Strain rate (SR) imaging (SRI) is a tissue Doppler-based method of regional myocardial deformation imaging. The aim of this study was to see whether SRI could quantify changes in myocardial mechanical function after an acute myocardial infarction, and to follow the time course of these changes. METHODS In all, 26 consecutive patients with first-time acute myocardial infarctions were examined on days 1, 7, and 90. Segments were analyzed with SRI and wall-motion score. RESULTS Peak systolic SR in infarcted segments increased significantly in magnitude from day 1 to 7 (-0.45 to -0.68 s -1 , P < .001), but not after day 7. The deformation rate in border zone segments also increased significantly from day 1 to 7 (-0.8 to -0.95 s -1 , P < .05), with no further significant changes at 3 months. In normal segments, peak systolic SR decreased in magnitude during the first week. Systolic strain showed similar results as peak systolic SR. CONCLUSION SRI can demonstrate small changes in deformation rate from midinfarct through the infarct and border zone to normal myocardium. It can also show changes over time, probably as a result of recovery of stunned myocardium.

Prediction of long-term cardiac events by 123I-MIBG imaging after acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion therapy

Objective(s): In heart failure, the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of the delayed image and washout rate (WR) are well-known as a powerful cardiac event predictors. H/M ratio quantifies the accumulation rate of MIBG in the myocardium and WR quantifies reduction of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) accumulation in the heart from the early planar image to the delayed pla...

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...

Usefulness of myocardial circunferential strain in acute myocardial infarction for prediction of contractile function recovery: a MRI myocardial tagging study

Background In patients (p) with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), quantitation of myocardial regional function may be useful to differentiate between stunned and necrotic myocardium and to predict ventricular function recovery during follow-up. Different parameters exist to evaluate regional myocardial function such as circunferential /radial strain and displacement. The purpose of this study ...

Demonstration of viable, stunned myocardium with technetium-99m-sestamibi.

Delayed improvement of left ventricular contractile function in the setting of acute ischemia followed by reperfusion ("stunned myocardium") has been observed in a number of clinical scenarios, and may have important clinical implications. At present, there are no widely accepted techniques available to demonstrate its presence. We report a case in which a rest 99mTc-sestamibi scan performed 12...
