Alginate Scaffolds for Mesenchymal Stem Cell Cardiac Therapy: Influence of Alginate Composition [PDF]

, 2012
Despite the success of alginate scaffolds and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy in cardiac failure treatment, the impact of the physicochemical environment provided by alginate matrices on cell behavior has never been investigated.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Myocardial Fibrosis Related to Ischemic Events

Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2017
Given the higher amount of detail it offers, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) in the field of cardiology has increased, thus leading to a decrease in the use of invasive and irradiating methods for diagnosing various cardiovascular disorders.

Myocardial contrast echocardiography – Use in viability assessment and acute myocardial infarction

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2019
Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) is now guideline-directed tool to assess myocardial perfusion both at rest and during stress. Its prognostic value has been established in the scenario of stable and unstable coronary artery disease and heart ...

Dobutamine-induced strain and strain rate predict viability following fibrinolytic therapy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
Background: Low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography is increasingly used for identifying myocardial viability.Aim: We explored whether dobutamine-induced strain (S) and strain rate (SR) can identify myocardial viability following fibrinolytic therapy

New directions in myocardial stress imaging [PDF]

, 2001
Non-invasive stress imaging techniques such as echocardiography and myocardial perfusion imaging are widely used for the diagnosis and functional evaluation of coronary artery disease and for the assessment of myocardial viability.1·8 The aim of this ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

, 2008
Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

PET vs MRI for Myocardial Viability

Indian Journal of Clinical Cardiology, 2020
Myocardial viability is an important concept that though conceptualy inituitive however has eluded any positive benefit in a randomised trial situation . The two techniques that are cutting edge and also the most accurate are the PET and CMR .

Noninvasive in vivo tracking of mesenchymal stem cells and evaluation of cell therapeutic effects in a murine model using a clinical 3.0 T MRI [PDF]

, 2013
Cardiac cell therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represents a promising treatment approach for endstage heart failure. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms and the fate of the transplanted cells. The objective of the presented

Hybrid Imaging in the Assessment of Myocardial Ischemia and Viability

Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2016
Myocardial ischemia results from a reduction in blood flow as a consequence of a coronary stenosis, which produces ischemia in the myocardial territories irrigated by the stenotic artery.
