In order to assess myocardial salvage when evaluating
new therapeutic strategies for myocardial infarction, we
require the measurement of both infarct size and
area-at-risk. In this study, a multi-parametric analysis
of infarct (late gadolinium enhancement), oedema (T2
mapping) and perfusion (arterial spin labeling, ASL) is
presented for ischemia-reperfusion injury in a mouse
model. Late enhancement and T2 mapping correspond well
to infarct size and area-at-risk (respectively), as
expected. Interestingly, multi-slice ASL shows perfusion
deficits, which correspond to area-at-risk, despite
reperfusion. This platform will be a useful tool for in
vivo investigation of AAR pathophysiology following
ischemia-reperfusion injury.
