Background Previous studies have demonstrated hyperkinetic endocardial motion of
noninfarcted myocardium early after myocardial infarction (MI). We wished to substantiate …

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 We aimed to evaluate the effect of early intravenous metoprolol treatment,
microvascular obstruction (MVO), intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) and adverse left …

Objectives. We sought to examine the relation between regional changes in intramyocardial
function and global left ventricular (LV) remodeling in the first 8 weeks after reperfused first …

OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that wall motion velocity during pre-ejection is proportional
to the regional content of viable myocardium after reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction …

To assess relative capabilities of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and two-dimensional
echocardiography (2DE) for evaluating regional contractile dysfunction in the left ventricle …

Objectives To characterize the temporal alterations in native T1 and extracellular volume
(ECV) of remote myocardium after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and to explore their …

To determine the clinical significance of regional hyperkinesia and remote asynergy of
noninfarcted areas in patients with a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 2-dimensional …

Aims To assess the intricate relationship between myocardial infarction (MI) location and
size and their reciprocal influences on post-infarction left ventricular (LV) remodelling …

Objectives: We sought to determine the relationship of contractile function to the transmural
extent of infarction (TEI) in patients with chronic coronary artery disease. Background: In the …
