Background—Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to modulate left ventricular (LV)
remodeling after a myocardial infarction (MI). However, the temporal and spatial variation of …

Objectives: This prospective study aimed to assess regional and temporal patterns of
extracellular matrix (ECM) changes post-myocardial infarction (MI). Background: A …

We sought to obtain a rabbit myocardial infarction (MI) model for research with cardiac
magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) by overcoming a few technical difficulties. A novel …

Purpose To investigate the effect of infarct size and location on left ventricular (LV) functional
and microstructural alterations in well‐established porcine models. Materials and Methods …

To understand the structure–function relationship in the postinfarcted myocardium in rabbits,
we induced cardiac ischemia by ligating the left circumflex coronary artery. Sham controls …

Background We examined the dynamic response of the myocardium to infarction in a
longitudinal porcine study using relaxometry, functional as well as diffusion cardiovascular …

Background The clinical course of a patient with a myocardial infarction (MI) depends largely
on the ability of the noninfarcted region to remodel and compensate for the loss of the …

Objective To describe the time course of myocardial infarct (MI) healing and left ventricular
(LV) remodelling and to assess factors predicting LV remodelling using cardiac MRI …

Background—Time-dependent activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) after
myocardial infarction (MI) contributes to adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling; however …

AIMS: The objective of this study was to noninvasively measure the volume of myocardial
infarction in rats, using delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a …
