The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessment of the infarcted rat and mouse heart and to compare the results with established methods. These models have been proven to predict genesis and prevention of heart failure in patients. The value of cine MRI was tested in studies investigating interventions to change the course of the remodeling process. MRI was performed for determination of left ventricular (LV) volumes and mass, myocardial infarct (MI) size and cardiac output. LV wet weight was determined after MRI. Rats underwent conventional hemodynamic measurements for determination of cardiac output and LV volumes by electromagnetic flowmeter and pressure-volume curves. Infarct size was determined by histology. MRI-acquired MI-size (18.5+/-2%) was smaller than that found by histology (22.8+/-2.5%, p
