From: Ex vivo signatures of myocardial edema by in vivo T2-CMR in a novel large animal model of NSTE-ACS
A) In a canine model of NSTE-ACS, T2 increased significantly in the lateral myocardium without evident LGE-positivity. B) Decreased cellular respiration paralleled increased T2, suggesting mitochondrial dysfunction. C) Electron microscopy of the endocardium showed normal mitochondria in the remote region and swollen mitochondria in the affected region without signs of cellular necrosis.
