Tissue Characterization : Clinical Needs Cardiac
نویسنده
چکیده
Take-home messages: • A broad range of cardiovascular conditions affect the myocardium. • The presence and extent to which the myocardium is affected can be estimated with magnetic resonance-based tissue characterization techniques. • The extent to which these techniques have been validated varies; the certainty with which a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-based tissue characteristic is assigned to a specific histopathological feature should be tempered by the validation data available for such. • Longitudinal studies support CMR’s diagnostic and prognostic value in myocardial characterization.

Structural characterization of rat ventricular tissue exposed to the smoke of two types of waterpipe
Objective(s):this study focused on the effect of waterpipe smoke exposure toxicity on the structure of albino rat’s ventricular tissue and their recovery. Materials and Methods: Albino rats were divided into three groups: control, flavored, and unflavored. The control group was exposed to normal air while the flavored and unflavored groups were exposed to waterpipe smoke for a period of 90 days...
متن کاملRole of Stem Cells in Cardiac Cell Therapy and Tissue Engineering
Background: In spite of promising results of conventional treatments for myocardial infarction, including medications, stent implantation, and coronary artery bypass grafting, the disease and its complications, especially heart failure, are highly prevalent because these methods could not reverse the cell loss, which is the main problem. Currently, heart transplantation, as the last option f...

Myxoma may cause systemic embolization and frequently presents as ischemic stroke. There has been debates whether it is safe to use recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in patients with cardiac myxoma who are presented with ischemic stroke at emergency department. we describe a young case of atrial myxoma with initial presentation of acute cerebral infarction symptoms who was treate...
متن کاملDiosgenin attenuates cardiac oxidative stress in streptozotocin- induced diabetic rat
Background and Objective: Chronic diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to cardiovascular dysfunction. Diosgenin is a natural steroidal saponin with cardiovascular protective potential. In this research study, the beneficial effect of diosgenin was evaluated on some markers of oxidative stress in cardia tissue of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats (n = 28) were ...
متن کاملEssentials of cardiac MRI in clinical practice
Background Cardiac MRI (CMRI) is considered the “gold” standard for non-invasive characterization of cardiac function and viability as it allows the assessment of regional and global cardiac function, mass, volumes, myocardial perfusion, and tissue characterization. With its excellent soft-tissue differentiation, CMRI is the most important imaging modality for differentiating tumour from thromb...
