To further understanding of the temporal evolution and pathophysiology of adverse
ventricular remodeling over the first 60 days following a myocardial infarction (MI) in both the …

Background Myocardial infarction (MI) survivors are at risk of complications including heart
failure and malignant arrhythmias. Purpose We undertook serial imaging of swine following …

Objective The relationship of infarction heterogeneity with indices of ventricular remodeling
quantified during the convalescent phase of acute infarct healing is unknown. We …

Objectives: We sought to monitor the evolution of noninfarcted and infarcted myocardium
function in the process of left ventricular (LV) remodeling after a reperfused myocardial …

The type and extent of myocardial infarction encountered clinically is primarily determined
by the severity of the initial ischemic insult. The purpose of the study was to differentiate …

Background Our current understanding is that left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) is caused by expansion of the infarcted myocardium with …

Novel therapeutic strategies aiming at improving the healing process after an acute
myocardial infarction are currently under intense investigation. The mouse model plays a …

Background Progressive heart failure due to remodeling is a major cause of morbidity and
mortality following myocardial infarction. Conventional clinical imaging measures global …

Objectives Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for infarct sizing has
been validated in large animals, but studies and follow-up are restricted. We sought to (1) …

This study evaluated the utility of cardiac MRI for assessing the impact of myocardial
infarction (MI) on cardiac structure and function in mice following reperfused 1‐or 2‐hr …
