Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) continue to be the most common morbid condition of
industrialized nations. The advent of and technical improvements in revascularization and …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is widely established, free of
radioactive material or ionizing radiation, and the accepted noninvasive gold standard for …

Over the past 50 years, the understanding of the pathophysiology of myocardial edema in
the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI) has evolved significantly. Controlled animal …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using T2-weighted sequences can visualize
myocardial edema. When compared to previous protocols, newer pulse sequences with …

Objectives: This study was designed to determine whether imaging myocardial edema
would identify acute myocardial ischemia before irreversible injury takes place. Background …

Edema is a generic component of the tissue response to acute injury and, therefore, an
important diagnostic target for assessing the acuity of tissue damage in vivo. In the past …

Background T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is clinically-useful for
imaging the ischemic area-at-risk and amount of salvageable myocardium in patients with …

Considerable technical advances over the past decade have increased the clinical
application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. A comprehensive CMR …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is an established clinical tool for the
identification of irreversible myocardial injury. More recently, experience with stress …
