Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of cardiac ischemia on heart structure and function in rabbits after ligating the left circumflex coronary artery.
- Cardiac MRI was used to assess heart volumes, ejection fraction, and infarction extent at 7 and 30 days post-ligation, revealing increased volumes and reduced ejection fraction due to scar tissue.
- The results highlighted compensatory changes in the heart's basal region and demonstrated the effectiveness of MRI in providing detailed imaging after myocardial infarction.
