Evolution of gray zone after acute myocardial infarction: Influence of microvascular obstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The presence of ischemia-induced microvascular obstruction (MVO) despite successful coronary revascularization, has been associated with poor functional recovery and adverse left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Additionally, the extent of the infarct gray zone is a strong independent predictor of post-AMI mortality. However, the evolution of gray zone after AMI has not been investigated and its relationship with MVO in terms of risk stratification is unknown.

Temporal changes of microvascular obstruction and infarct border zone after acute myocardial infarction assessed by contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
Background Besides total scar size, scar characterization parameters are emerging as additional prognostic factors after acute myocardial infarction. Of these, microvascular obstruction (MVO) and infarct border zone are the most promising ones. Nevertheless, a MRI scan performed few days after infarction assesses a rapidly changing myocardium. In particular the infarct border zone that is belie...
متن کاملMicrovascular obstruction by delayed contrast-enhanced MRI remains a strong predictor of left ventricular remodeling even after successful reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction
Background Microvascular obstruction (MVO) after coronary reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) implies advanced myocardial damage and is recognized as a negative prognostic value. Delayed contrast-enhanced MRI is the preferred MR imaging technique for evaluation of MVO. In this study, we assessed the influence of MVO on post-infarction left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunction.

Methods 21 patients post primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction were prospectively enrolled and each had 3 MRI scans on a 1.5T GE Signa Excite scanner at 48 hours, 3 weeks and 6 months post infarction. A T1-weighted IR-GRE sequence was used for late gadolinium enhancement assessment of infarcted myocardium. Core infarct size (CIS) and gray zone (...
