Abstract: The article presents the study which examined the effects of ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (USPIO) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). The study is intended to prove the effectiveness of USPIO for the assessment of cellular myocardial inflammation after acute MI in humans. Based on the results, USPIO has potential for evaluating cellular myocardial inflammation and left ventricular remodelling.
