BACKGROUND: Doppler echocardiogram is useful for the evaluation of anatomical and
functional changes in late myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. However, no studies have …

The severity of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in rats with myocardial infarction (MI) varies
widely. Because homogeneity in baseline parameters is essential for experimental …

Although echocardiography has been used in rats, few studies have determined its efficacy
for estimating myocardial infarct size. Our objective was to estimate the myocardial infarct …

OBJECTIVE: To assess by Doppler echocardiography the structural and functional
alterations of rat heart with surgical induced extensive myocardial infarction. METHODS …

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to analyze the myocardial performance index
(MPI), its relationship with the standard variables of systolic and diastolic functions, and the …

Objective: The aim was to evaluate whether two dimensional echocardiographic/Doppler
(echo/Doppler) techniques could be used to detect left ventricular damage rapidly …

Abstract Aim The Pulsed Doppler Tei index is a parameter to evaluate combined systolic
and diastolic function in humans. However, one major limitation is that the parameters of …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the value of Doppler tissue imaging
(DTI) in detecting serial changes in left ventricular (LV) geometry and function after …

To determine the early and late effects of myocardial infarction on left ventricular (LV)
diastolic function in the rabbit postinfarction model, male New Zealand White rabbits were …

Objective: To test the usage of serial echocardiography in mice with induced myocardial
infarct (MI) and to characterize the mouse model of MI. Methods: C57 mice underwent open …
