Acute myocardial infarction in mice: assessment of transmurality by strain rate imaging.

چکیده
In vivo evaluation of the transmural extension of myocardial infarction (TEI) is crucial to prediction of viability and prognosis. With the rise of transgenic technology, murine myocardial infarction (MI) models are increasingly used. Our study aimed to evaluate systolic strain rate (SR), a new parameter of regional function, to quantify TEI in a murine model of acute MI induced by various durations of ischemia followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Global and regional left ventricular (LV) function were assessed by echocardiography (13 MHz, Vivid 7, GE) in 4 groups of wild-type mice (C57BL/6, 2 mo old): a sham-treated group (n = 10) and three MI groups [30 (n = 11), 60 (n = 10), and 90 (n = 9) min of left coronary artery occlusion]. Conventional LV dimensions, anterior wall (AW) thickening, and peak systolic SR were measured before and 24 h after reperfusion. Area at risk (AR) was measured by blue dye and infarct size (area of necrosis, AN) and TEI by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. AN increased with ischemia duration (25 +/- 2%, 56 +/- 5%, 71 +/- 6% of AR for 30, 60, and 90 min, respectively; P < 0.05). LV end-diastolic volume significantly increased with ischemia duration (30 +/- 5, 34 +/- 5, 43 +/- 5 microl; P < 0.05), whereas LV ejection fraction decreased (63 +/- 5%, 58 +/- 6%, 46 +/- 5%; P < 0.05). AW thickening decrease was not influenced by ischemia duration. Conversely, systolic SR decreased with ischemia duration (13 +/- 5, 4 +/- 3, -2 +/- 6 s(-1); P < 0.05) and was significantly correlated with TEI (r = 0.89, P < 0.01). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves identified systolic SR as the most accurate parameter to predict TEI. In conclusion, in a murine model of MI, SR imaging is superior to conventional echocardiography to predict TEI early after MI.

متن کاملPrediction 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...

BACKGROUND Opening of an occluded infarct related artery reduces infarct size and improves survival in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this study we performed tissue Doppler analysis (peak strain, displacement, mitral annular movement (MAM)) and compared with visual assessment for the study of the correlation of measurements of global, regional and segmental function with f...
