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. Therefore, we intended to assess in-vivo post-infarct remodeling as comprehensively as possible using an expedient native magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the two most prominent infarct models, permanent ligation (PL) of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) versus ischemia reperfusion (I/R).

These effects were less pronounced following I/R compared to healthy animals. Single plane assessments were not sufficient to capture the specific differences of left ventricular (LV) properties between the two infarct models. Bulls-eye plots were found to be an ideal tool for qualitative LV wall assessment, whereas a multi-slice sector-based analysis of wall regions is ideal to determine differences in hypertrophy, lateral wall thinning and wall thickening on a quantitative level. We combine the use of polar map-based analysis of LV wall properties with volumetric measurements using simple CINE CMR imaging.
