RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Myocardial fibrosis was evaluated with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in Bio14.6 hamsters.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gated gradient-echo T1-weighted images and spin-echo images with gadopentetate dimeglumine enhancement (0.2 mmol/kg) were obtained.
RESULTS: Myocardial enhancement persisted for 13 minutes after administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine, and myocardial signal intensity peaked at 13 minutes on gradient-echo T1-weighted images. The enhanced areas were greater in Bio14.6 hamsters at 25-42 weeks than at 10 weeks. Pathologic data revealed enhancement with inflammation at 10 weeks and fibrosis with vessel proliferation at 25-42 weeks. Pathologic fibrotic change was greater at 32-42 weeks than at 10 weeks. The myocardium of 42-week-old Bio14.6 hamsters showed remarkable contrast enhancement, which continued for 13 minutes. There was no correlation between gadolinium enhancement and pathologic findings in the evaluation of myocardial degeneration and fibrosis.
CONCLUSION: Gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging was useful for estimating myocardial fibrotic changes with vessel proliferation and myocardial damage.
