چکیده

Background Microvascular obstruction (MO) is one of the most important predictors of adverse outcome after reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction (MI). Myocardial hemorrhage has been described as a contributor to reperfusion injury. Due to a lack of appropriate imaging techniques, the consequences of reperfusion hemorrhage have not been studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between myocardial hemorrhage and regional left ventricular functional recovery using T2*-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.

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...

Recovery of regional myocardial function and myocardial oedema following reperfused acute myocardial infarction

We investigated the relationship between myocardial oedema and recovery of regional myocardial function in patients with acute reperfused myocardial infarction (MI). Early after acute MI, oedema in the peri-infarct zone, as delineated by T2 weighted (T2w) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, demonstrated significantly reduced strain as compared to remote myocardium. The recovery of ...
