Visualizing myocardial salvage: new methods, new insights.

چکیده
Since the earliest days of the thrombolytic era, maximizing myocardial salvage by reperfusion of the myocardial region at risk for myocardial infarction has been the most important immediate objective in management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (1). The roles of time to reperfusion and collateral flow to the infarct territory and their impact on early and late post-infarct ventricular function were recognized in those early

LATE EMBOLECTOMY FOR LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE IN ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA: A NEW PROTOCOL
Embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion. Delayed embolectomy has not been investigated adequately due to the belief that accompanying mortality and morbidity render the case futile. Following our previous experience with late arterial repair for leg or knee salvage I we applied the same principle to limbs threatened with prolo...
متن کاملImpact of Heart Rate on Myocardial Salvage in Timely Reperfused Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: New Insights from Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
BACKGROUND Previous studies evaluating the progression of the necrotic wave in relation to heart rate were carried out only in animal models of ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Aim of the study was to investigate changes of myocardial salvage in relation to different heart rates at hospital admission in timely reperfused patients with STEMI by using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (...
متن کاملVisualizing myocardial function using HARP MRI.
Harmonic phase magnetic resonance imaging (HARP) is a new technique for measuring the motion of the left ventricle of the heart. HARP uses magnetic resonance tagging, Fourier filtering and special processing algorithms to calculate key indices of myocardial motion including Eulerian and Lagrangian strain. This paper presents several new methods for visualizing myocardial motion based on HARP. Q...
متن کاملRight ventricular involvement in acute myocardial infarction. Risk stratification by visualization of wall motion, edema and delayed enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Methods We studied 431 patients 1-4 days after primary angioplasty for ST-elevation AMI. T2-weighted and delayed enhancement (DE) CMR was used for visualizing edema and scar to calculate myocardial salvage (MS). Cine-imaging was used for wall motion analysis. Patients with RVI were compared to matched patients with isolated left ventricular (LV) infarction. The primary endpoint was the occurren...
متن کاملMeasuring myocardial salvage: hormone cardioprotection
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. For patients presenting with an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the treatment of choice is timely reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, the process of reperfusion can in itself independently induce myocardial injury and cardiomyocyte death—a phenomen...
