Apoptosis assessed by 99mTc-annexin-V uptake correlates with left ventricular remodeling during the subacute phase of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion in a rat model.
Background: To investigate whether an apoptotic process demonstrated by 99mTc-annexin-V ( 99mTc-AV) uptake correlates with left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after myocardial infarction, we assessed 99mTc-AV uptake in rat model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion.
Wakabayashi et al. (2015) studied this question. Apoptosis assessed by 99mTc-annexin-V uptake correlates with left ventricular remodeling during the subacute phase of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion in a rat model.
