The present study aimed at investigating whether manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) is also sensitive to detect the calcium channel and NCX activities after ischemia during earlier reperfusion. Using a rapid T1-mapping method, we investigated the dynamics of R1 changes in manganese-perfused rat hearts with and without 20 min ischemia and with and without NCX inhibition by SEA0400.
