Use of fluorescent micropsheres to measure coronary flow reserve in rat animal model
… attacks result from reduced or blocked blood flow through major coronary arteries, resulting in permanent damage to heart muscle. Coronary blood flow (CBF) is thus important to measure in experimental animal models of heart disease. A standard method to measure CBF uses tracer microspheres (O …

The characterisation of hibernating myocardium : a study of imaging techniques, histological features and clinical relevance
… have a poor prognosis. Those with three vessel coronary artery disease who successfully undergo revascularisation have a better outlook but their peri-operative risk is high. Viable myocardium with impaired coronary flow reserve and impaired contractility recovers function following …

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of myocardial infarction
… have emerged regarding the safety of acute intracoronary (IC) MSC delivery specifically related to mortality, micro-infarction and microvascular flow restriction post cell therapy in animal models. This thesis aimed to firstly identify an optimal dose of MSC that could be tolerated when delivered …

Invasive Physiologic Assessment of Myocardial Viability After Primary Angioplasty in Acute Myocardial Infarction: Comparison With FDG-PET Imaging
BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: The state of coronary microcirculaton is an important determinant of myocardial viability and clinical outcomes in acute myocardial infarction(AMI). However, to date, there has been lacking in comparative studies on the most reliable invasive, on-site measurement for assessing …

Evaluation of alterations in cardiovascular structure and function in end-stage renal failure.
… in the detection of haemodynamically‐significant coronary artery disease prior to renal transplantation. Finally, we invasively evaluated coronary endothelial function in the presence of advanced renal dysfunction, and compared this to subjects with preserved renal function. Methods / Results: …
