Expedient assessment of post-infarct remodeling by native cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in mice
Abstract Novel therapeutic strategies aiming at improving the healing process after an acute myocardial infarction are currently under intense investigation. The mouse model plays a central role for deciphering the underlying mechanisms on a molecular and cellular level. Therefore, we intended to as...

The mouse model plays a central role for deciphering the underlying mechanisms on a molecular and cellular level.

Single plane assessments were not sufficient to capture the specific differences of left ventricular (LV) properties between the two infarct models.
