Objective Left ventricular remodelling following a ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction
(STEMI) is an adaptive response to maintain the cardiac output despite myocardial tissue …

Background Remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) occurs in response to various physiological
and pathophysiological conditions. The American Society of Echocardiography recommend …

Background Magnetic Resonance (MRI) is the gold-standard for quantifying left ventricle
(LV) volumes and ejection fraction (LVEF). However, MRI is expensive, not widely available …

Purpose The conventional volumetric approaches of measuring cardiac function are load-
dependent, and are not able to discriminate functional changes in the infarct, transition and …

Purpose: To investigate the transmural heterogeneity of left ventricular myocardium
structural remodeling. Materials and Methods: Ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was …

Background Myocardial infarction (MI) can be readily assessed using late gadolinium
enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Inversion recovery (IR) …

Aim: To delineate the natural history of left ventricular remodelling following large anterior
myocardial infarction (MI), in the era of aggressive medical therapy. Methods: Seventeen …

Background—ACE inhibition (ACEI) attenuates post–myocardial infarction (MI) LV
remodeling, but the effects of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) antagonism alone or in …

6. Conclusions Due to its high temporal and spatial resolution, the described MR technique
is able to face the requirements of the small sized, fast beating mouse heart, resulting in time …

Post-ischemic left ventricular (LV) remodeling is a biologically complex process involving
myocardial structure, LV shape, and function, beginning early after myocardial infarction (MI) …
