“…Heart volume without cardiac adipose tissue was quantified by manually tracing the area in-between the visceral layer of the pericardium. MI was assumed, if the signal intensity of hyperenhanced myocardium on delayed enhancement imaging was > 5 standard deviations above the mean signal intensity of the remote region and MVO was defined as a hypoenhanced region within the infarcted myocardium [ 24 , 25 ]. Infarct size and MVO were expressed as a percentage of the total left ventricular myocardial volume [ 20 ], when not stated otherwise.…”

Aims Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been linked to impaired reperfusion success after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Whether EAT predicts myocardial damage in the early phase after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is unclear. Therefore, we investigated whether EAT in patients with acute MI is associated with more microvascular obstruction (MVO), greater ST-deviation, larger infarct size and reduced myocardial salvage index (MSI). Methods and results This retrospective analysis of a prospective observational study including patients with acute MI (n = 54) undergoing PCI and 12 healthy matched controls. EAT, infarct size and MSI were analyzed with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, conducted 3–5 days and 12 weeks after MI. Patients with acute MI showed higher EAT volume than healthy controls (46 [25.;75. percentile: 37;59] vs. 24 [15;29] ml, p < 0.001). The high EAT group (above median) showed significantly more MVO (2.22 [0.00;5.38] vs. 0.0 [0.00;2.18] %, p = 0.004), greater ST-deviation (0.38 [0.22;0.55] vs. 0.15 [0.03;0.20] mV×10−1, p = 0.008), larger infarct size at 12 weeks (23 [17;29] vs. 10 [4;16] %, p < 0.001) and lower MSI (40 [37;54] vs. 66 [49;88] %, p < 0.001) after PCI than the low EAT group. After accounting for demographic characteristics, body-mass index, heart volume, infarct location, TIMI-flow grade as well as apnea–hypopnea index, EAT was associated with infarct size at 12 weeks (B = 0.38 [0.11;0.64], p = 0.006), but not with MSI. Conclusions Patients with acute MI showed higher volume of EAT than healthy individuals. High EAT was linked to more MVO and greater ST-deviation. EAT was associated with infarct size, but not with MSI. Graphic abstract

“…Journals may include acceptance rate in their web site (e.g. http://veterinaryrecord.bmj.com/site/about/) or publish this information as part of an annual review , but most do not publish acceptance rates, possibly because prospective authors could be discouraged by a low acceptance rate. In contrast, it seems clear that many prospective authors need more guidance about manuscript submission , and knowing how many manuscripts are rejected might help stimulate efforts to submit better quality manuscripts.…”

17Reasons for performing study. Relatively few journals publish their annual acceptance rate, 18 although this figure is of scientific and academic interest. 19Objectives. To determine the acceptance rate for manuscripts submitted to veterinary peer-20 reviewed journals during 2012 and to determine the proportions of submitted manuscripts 21 that were accepted without revision, accepted after revision or rejected. 22Study design. Self-reporting questionnaire distributed to editorial contacts and returned by 23Email with data submission by insertion into a template. 24Methods. Editors of 118 peer-reviewed journals listed in the Web of Science in the subject 25 category veterinary sciences were invited by Email to submit data pertinent to manuscripts 26 submitted to their journal in 2012. 27Results. Data were received from 30 (26%) journals. Average (±SD) acceptance rate was 28 47% (±15%). On average 3% (±5%) submitted manuscripts were accepted without revision, 29 44% (±15%) manuscripts were accepted after revision, 4% (±4%) manuscripts were 30 withdrawn by authors, 46% (±17%) manuscripts were rejected and 3% (±5%) manuscripts 31 were still pending at the end of the study period. 32Conclusions. With so few manuscripts accepted without revision, prospective authors must 33 expect to expend time and effort revising and resubmitting their manuscripts for publication. 34Although authors are frequently able to correct manuscript flaws identified by reviewers, the 35 knowledge that less than half submitted manuscripts are accepted might help stimulate 36 prospective authors to try to submit better quality manuscripts. 37 3 Introduction 38

“…Cardiac MRI provides a large field of view, unlimited scanning planes, high tissue contrast, and three-dimensional (3D) images. These characteristics make this technique useful for the diagnosis and staging of the severity of cardiac diseases, including cardiomyopathy, congenital heart diseases, valvular diseases, and pulmonary hypertension [ 9 ]. The established clinical role of cardiac MRI in human medicine is to perform morphological and functional assessment of complex diseases of the heart and great vessels; cardiac MRI is considered the gold standard in human medicine for measuring left ventricular (LV) volume and function [ 2 ].…”

Unlike echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) results in a near-exact assessment of cardiac structures and function. However, most veterinary studies have focused on dogs with normal cardiac function. We hypothesized that there would be significant differences in cardiac measurements between cardiac MRI and echocardiography when left ventricular (LV) function was abnormal. This study was undertaken to compare measurements of LV function produced by cardiac MRI and echocardiography in dogs whose LV function was altered by pharmacological agents. This study was conducted with six healthy beagle dogs. We increased left ventricular contractility by administration of dobutamine; we decreased cardiac contractility with esmolol. Stroke volume measurements were made by using both cardiac MRI and echocardiography under seven different conditions with general anesthesia: control, three doses of esmolol (100, 200, and 500 µg/kg/min), and three doses of dobutamine (10, 20, and 50 µg/kg/min). Experiments involving each condition were conducted at least 1 week apart. When LV contractility was normal, ejection fraction (EF) and stroke volume (SV), as measured by echocardiography and cardiac MRI, were not significantly different. However, when contractility was changed by pharmacological agents, EF and SV were overestimated by echocardiography, compared to MRI. Evaluation of cardiac function in patients treated with pharmacological agents should be conducted carefully because EF and SV measured by echocardiography can be overestimated, compared with EF and SV obtained by cardiac MRI.
