Abstract
Ischemic heart disease, despite advances in treatment, remains the major cause of mortality worldwide. NOGA 3D left ventricular electromechanical mapping allows accurate determination of cardiac function and precise identification of sites of injury. In a porcine model of ischemia-reperfusion injury, we validate the use of the NOGA mapping system for assessment of cardiac function along with the Myostar injection catheter for directed delivery of therapeutics to localized target sites in the setting of acute myocardial injury.Entities:
