Regional remodelling after a left ventricular myocardial infarction is the first step in a
cascade that may lead to heart failure and death. To understand better the mechanisms …

Two-dimensional analysis techniques were applied to breathhold magnetic resonance (MR)
tagged images in humans to better understand left ventricular (LV) mechanics 8 weeks after …

The purpose of this study was to use MR myocardial tagging to assess regional cardiac
function after myocardial infarction (MI) in mice. Eight mice were imaged before and 1 day …

We characterized global and regional left ventricular (LV) function during post myocardium
infarction (MI) remodeling in rats, which has been incompletely described by previous MRI …

Background Left ventricular function is altered during and after AMI. Regional function can
be determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) wall thickening, and velocity encoded …

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

Background Cardiac remodelling following myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex, dynamic
process. There have been few longitudinal studies of these changes. Methods A 2 …

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 …

OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate regional morphology and function in patients in their
first week after having a reperfused anterior myocardial infarction (MI) using magnetic …

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