PG - 3425-3432 LID - 10.3892/etm.2017.4967 [doi] AB - The aim of this study was to determine the myocardial area at risk (AAR), infarction-core size (IS) and the salvaged myocardial zone (SMZ), and to evaluate the imaging and histological characteristics of intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) after myocardial infarction using non-contrast T2 mapping on 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Twenty Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the sham and model groups (n=10 in each). In the model group, myocardial infarction models were established by left anterior descending branch ligation. After 24 h, all animals were imaged on a 7.0 Tesla system with cine spiral imaging, T2 mapping with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The rats were then sacrificed for measurement of the IS and AAR using 2,3,5-triphenylterazolium chloride (TTC) and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. T2 mapping revealed that the AAR in the model group was significantly higher than that in the sham group. No remarkable T2 value was noted in the entire heart of the sham group. LGE and TTC staining demonstrated similar IS. T2 mapping and H&E staining revealed a similar AAR as well. T2 mapping characterized the IMH as a phenomenon resulting from the area of hypointensity in the hyperintensity involving the infarct-core zone and corresponding T2 value 928.6+/-1.52 msec with IMH vs. 35.8+/-2.61 msec without IMH; n=3 with 18 slices; P=0.032). In conclusion, non-contrast T2 mapping was a reliable approach to quantitatively evaluate the SMZ and IMH.
