- Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the transmural heterogeneity of left ventricular myocardium structural remodeling. Materials and Methods: Ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed in six adult porcine heart samples with apical septum infarction collected 13 weeks after permanent left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and six age-matched intact controls. Alterations in diffusion indices and myocardial fiber orientation, including fractional anisotropy (FA), mean apparent diffusion coefficient (mean ADC), axial diffusivity (λ
