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 …

Real-time three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography (RT-3DE) provides a unique technique
to evaluate left ventricular regional function in a 3D format. We aimed to explore whether the …

In vivo assessment of treatment efficacy on postinfarct left ventricular (LV) remodeling is
crucial for experimental studies. We examined the technical feasibility of serial magnetic …

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 …

Ultrasound imaging of the heart continues to play an important role in diagnosis and
management of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Recent advances in ultrasound …

抄録 In order to forecast the clinical course of acute myocardial infarction (MI), the time
course of the functional changes of the left ventricular myocardium that result in remodeling …

We investigated the suitability of studying ventricular remodeling in a mouse model of
myocardial infarction (MI). We performed left coronary ligation (n= 22) or a sham procedure …

Background Traditional preclinical echocardiography (ECHO) modalities, including 1-
dimensional motion-mode (M-Mode) and 2-dimensional long axis (2D-US), rely on …

Objectives: We sought to quantify the left ventricle systolic dysfunction by a geometric index
from two‐dimensional (2D) echocardiography by implementing an automated fuzzy logic …

Systolic wall thickening abnormalities are sensitive indicators of ischemia and infarction.
One purpose of this investigation was to assess the relation between coronary risk area …
