Severity of blood flow reduction associated with detectable T2 enhancement in the area at risk of a reperfused canine model of acute myocardial infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background T2-weighted enhancement depicts the myocardial area at risk (AAR) associated with coronary occlusion. However, the severity of blood flow abnormality required to cause a detectable elevation in myocardial T2 is unknown. The aim of this study was to use microspheres to determine the severity of reduction in myocardial blood flow that results in visually detectable T2 weighted enhancement.

No-Reflow Phenomenon in Patients with ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction, Treated with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Study of Predictive Factors
Introduction: No-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. Herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of...
