Abstract:
Purpose To explore the application value of magnetic resonance feature tracking to assess early heart failure in different rat models.Materials and Methods Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:the control group(8 rats),the isoproterenol high dose(ISO-H)group(14 rats),the isoproterenol low dose(ISO-L)group(14 rats)and the coronary artery ligation surgery(myocardial infarction,MI)group(14 rats).The ISO-H group received intraperitoneal injections of ISO at 100 mg/kg once a week for two consecutive weeks.The ISO-L group received continuous intraperitoneal injections of ISO at 5 mg/(kg·d)for 14 days.The MI group underwent coronary ligation to establish a heart failure rat model.Scans using a 7T cardiac MRI cine sequence were performed after two weeks and four weeks.Heart function parameters and myocardial strain parameters were obtained using CVI 42 software.Serum markers of myocardial injury,including creatine kinase,creatine kinase-MB,lactate dehydrogenase and α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase levels,were measured.HE staining and Masson staining were used to detect myocardial pathological changes.Results Compared with the control group,the ISO-H group,ISO-L group and MI group showed significant changes in left ventricular ejection fraction(t=-2.387,P=0.04;t=5.622,P<0.001;t=17.715,P<0.001)and overall radial strain(t=-4.570,P=0.001;t=6.587,P<0.001;t=10.649,P<0.001)after two weeks.Compared with the control group,the ISO-H group,ISO-L group and MI group showed varying degrees of reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction(t=4.834,P=0.001;t=10.325,P<0.001;t=26.286,P<0.001)and overall radial strain(t=3.890,P=0.003;t=9.547,P<0.001;t=13.751,P<0.001)after four weeks.The serum markers of myocardial injury,including creatine kinase,creatine kinase-MB,lactate dehydrogenase and α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase levels,were significantly elevated(t=-93.373--11.019,P<0.001),and pathological staining revealed that all model groups exhibited varying degrees of myocardial cell hypertrophy,necrosis and interstitial fibrosis compared with the control group.Conclusion Magnetic resonance feature tracking has guiding significance for the dynamic monitoring,early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of heart failure in different rat models.
