Using indocyanine green dye, scientists were able to visualize damaged areas with poor blood flow; This will help doctors understand the effectiveness of treatment and detect myocardial infarction during open heart surgery.
Experiments showed the effectiveness of the method: when simulating myocardial ischemia and the subsequent restoration of blood flow, the addition of a dye made it possible to identify disorders such as vascular spasms or blood stasis, which are indicative of a malfunction in blood flow.
Evaluation of blood flow in the heart tissue after a heart attack is of great importance in terms of organ recovery and prevention of complications such as arrhythmia, aneurysm and heart failure. A new diagnostic method can significantly improve the process of restoring heart function and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
