Measuring Water Distribution in the Heart: Preventing Edema Reduces Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

Measuring Water Distribution in the Heart: Preventing Edema Reduces Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

BackgroundEdema is present in many heart diseases, and differentiation between intracellular (ICW) and extracellular (ECW) myocardial water compartments would be clinically relevant. In this work we developed a magnetic resonance imaging–based method to differentiate ICW and ECW and applied it to an...
