The relationship between collagen and ultrasonic attenuation in myocardial tissue

Abstract

The relationship between ultrasonic attenuation and collagen content is examined in hearts from normal dogs and in hearts from dogs subjected to ischemic injury by coronary occlusion as an approach toward elucidating the physical mechanisms responsible for the attenuation of soft tissue. Increased ultrasonic attenuation is shown to correlate well with increased collagen concentration determined biochemically in regions of ischemic injury studied 2, 4, and 6 weeks following occlusion. Extrapolation of experimentally determined relationship between attenuation and collagen concentration suggests that collagen is responsible for not more than 15% of the attenuation observed in normal myocardium. These results indicate that collagen appears to be the principal determinant of the elevated attenuation detected in regions of myocardial infarction, but is apparently not the primary determinant of the attenuation of normal myocardium.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
