Area at Risk and Viability after Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion Can Be Determined by Contrast-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
2008
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Clinical differentiation between infarcted and viable myocardium in the ischemic area at risk is controversial. We investigated the potential of contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (ceCMRI) in determining the area at risk 24 h after ischemia. <i>Methods:</i> Myocardial ischemia was induced by percutaneous coronary intervention of the left anterior descending coronary artery in pigs. Coronary occlusion time was 30 min in group A, which caused little myocardial infarction and 45 min in group B, which led to irreversible damage. 24 h after reperfusion ceCMRI was performed at 2 and 15 min after administration of gadolinium-diethyl…

We have read with a great interest the article by Fernandez-Jimenez et al presenting a bimodal edematous reaction of reperfused myocardium after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 According to the study, the initial edema emerges early and disappears by 24 hours; however, the second edema appears between days 4 and 7 after reperfusion. The authors conclude that the assessment of …
