✦ Synopsis

The experimental design in examination of acute myocardial infarctions should be valid in terms of flow, perfusion and re-flow after intervention. The contrast agents concentration in experimental studies can be measured by microdialysis.

We have assessed the usefulness of different extracellular and blood pool contrast agents for visualization of the area at risk in coronary artery occlusions. The double contrast technique, where Dy-DTPA-BMA was combined with Gd-DTPA-BMA yielded a superior infarct visualization. Blood pool agents for example NC100/150 injection is also promising in first path myocardial perfusion imaging.

## Abstract The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between contrast agent type (ionic vs. nonionic) and angiographic, electrocardiographic, and clinical outcomes after thrombolytic administration. Ionic or nonionic contrast agents were selected in a nonrandomized fashion for 90‐min

Novel CMR techniques are needed to assess reversible myocardial injury in acute MI. Our results show that pre-contrast T1 mapping CMR could be such a technique: increasingly higher T1 values are associated with larger extent of acute myocardial injury and with reduced functional recovery at 6 months
