Left ventricular remodeling in the acute (A, C, E) and chronic group (B, D, F)

A and B. There is significant reduction in fractional shortening following ischemia-reperfusion and persists up to 6 weeks. C and D. There is a trend towards increased end systolic dimension 60 minutes following ischemia. There is progressive dilation of the left ventricle from 1–6 weeks. E and F. The estimated left ventricular mass increased at 3 weeks and progressed at 6 weeks.

Correlation between infarct region and periinfarct region radial strain (A) and remote region (B) in the chronic group

There is significant correlation between radial strain in the infarct region and those in the periinfarct and remote regions.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Myocardial dysfunction in the periinfarct and remote regions following anterior infarction in rats quantified by 2D radial strain echocardiography: An observational cohort study"</p><p>http://www.cardiovascularultrasound.com/content/6/1/17</p><p>Cardiovascular Ultrasound 2008;6():17-17.</p><p>Published online 29 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2397379.</p><p></p
