Detection of Dose Response in Chronic Doxorubicin-Mediated Cell Death with Cardiac Technetium 99m Annexin V Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Kathleen L. Gabrielson, Greta S.P. Mok, Srihdar Nimmagadda, Djahida Bedja, Scott Pin, Allison Tsao, Yuchuan Wang, Dhrtti Sooryakumar, S. Jianhua Yu, Martin G. Pomper, Benjamin M.W. Tsui

“…The aim of this study was to evaluate whether technetium 99m hydrazinonicotinamide ( 99m Tc-HYNIC)-annexin V single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) would detect dose-dependent doxorubicin (DOX)-mediated cell death in the heart compared with functional echocardiography. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with DOX (cumulative dose of 15 or 7.5 mg/kg) or saline ( n = 7) and monitored by echocardiography. …”

Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty for Aortic Stenosis by Yedan Li, Kunjing Pang, Yao Liu, Muzi Li, Hao Wang

“…Aortic peak jet velocity, aortic valve orifice area (AVA), mean transvalvular pressure gradient (MTPG), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) were determined before and immediately after PBAV using Doppler echocardiography. Preprocedural cardiac function was grade I in 3 cases, grade II in 9 cases, grade III in 10 cases, and grade IV in 8 cases. …”

Cardiac Micro–Computed Tomography for Morphological and Functional Phenotyping of Muscle LIM Protein Null Mice by Cristian T. Badea, Laurence W. Hedlund, Julie F. Boslego Mackel, Lan Mao, Howard A. Rockman, G. Allan Johnson

“…The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of micro–computed tomography (micro-CT) for morphological and functional phenotyping of muscle LIM protein (MLP) null mice and to compare micro-CT with M-mode echocardiography. MLP null mice and controls were imaged using both micro-CT and M-mode echocardiography. …”
