The functional mechanisms involved in adverse left ventricular remodeling caused by reperfusion injury are unclear. We have developed a new high temporal resolution MR imaging technique, SPAMM-PAV (SPAtially Modulated Magnetization with Polarity Alternated Velocity encoding) that provides regional assessment of early diastolic flow velocity and myocardial strain. This method was applied in a canine animal model with prolonged occlusion followed by reperfusion. We examine the diastolic strain-rates, elastic modulus and viscosity of infarct regions relative to remote regions 3 days post reperfusion to provide insight into early diastolic function in these animals.
