Background It has recently been suggested that myocardial oedema follows a bimodal
pattern early post ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Yet, water content …

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

Background Current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) methods, such as late
gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and oedema imaging (T2W) used to depict myocardial …

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 …

This study by Fernández-Jiménez et al11 showed that the detection of myocardial edema
with longer T2 relaxation times represents the complex pathophysiology post-I/R injury. The …

Background: It is widely accepted that edema occurs early in the ischemic zone and persists
in stable form for at least 1 week after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. However, there are …

Objective: The aim was to analyse the relationship between magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging parameters and myocardial water content early after coronary occlusion with or …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging enables the assessment of left ventricular
function and pathology. In addition to established contrast-enhanced methods for the …

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate postinfarction myocardial oedema in humans with particular
reference to the longitudinal course, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DESIGN …

Background Experimental data reported a temporal pattern of myocardial edema following
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the time …
