Treatment of cardiac tissue following myocardial infarction utilizing high intensity focused ultrasound

摘要

A noninvasive or minimally invasive treatment of infarct areas of the heart with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) emitted without respect to the timing or phase of the cardiac cycle, intended to remodel cardiac tissue by inducing angiogenesis and/or the formation of myocytes to improve cardiac function.
