T2-imaging of area-at-risk predicts recovery of cardiac function in a canine model of acute myocardial infarction

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Infarct size is the strongest predictor of subsequent outcomes and remains an important therapeutic target. Myocardial edema measured by T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging identifies the ischemic area-at-risk and predicts infarct size, allows more accurate evaluation of novel anti-ischemic therapies, and may be associated with stunning and long-term recovery of function.
