Background Myocardial deformation imaging and contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging (ceMRI) have been used to define myocardial viability in ischemic left …

Using a new computed tomographic (CT) scanner design that uses a rapidly moving
focused electron beam, 50-ms CT scans were obtained at 2 axial levels simultaneously …

Left ventricular remodelling (LVr) occurs post myocardial infarction (MI), predisposing
people to heart failure (HF). LV mechanics and morphology are important in this process …

Abstract Background/Aim: Myocardial infarction, an acute medical situation with a high
mortality rate worldwide, has been extensively studied in modern cardiovascular research …

Delayed enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) is the gold-standard for
non-invasive assessment after myocardial infarction (MI). MR microscopy (MRM) provides a …

Background Regional changes in diastolic and systolic properties after myocardial infarction
contribute to adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Regional function is currently …

Background Mice are frequently used in research to examine outcomes of myocardial
infarction (MI) and to investigate therapeutic interventions at an early pre-clinical stage. The …

Background Quantification of myocardial “area at risk”(AAR) and myocardial infarction (MI)
zone is critical for assessing novel therapies targeting myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (IR) …

Purpose To determine whether the myocardial injury size on day 2 measured after
gadolinium (Gd)‐mesoporphyrin and Gd‐diethylenetriamine‐pentaacetic acid (DTPA) …

To perform cardiac imaging in mice without having to invest in expensive dedicated
equipment, we adapted a clinical 1.5 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner …
