Oxidative stress and left ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction.
In acute myocardial infarction (MI), reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated in the ischaemic myocardium especially after reperfusion. ROS directly injure the cell membrane and cause cell death. However, ROS also stimulate signal transduction to elaborate inflammatory cytokines, e.g. tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1beta and -6, in the ischaemic region and surroun...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Size after Acute Myocardial Infarction
The distance from the midline to the left heart border measured in a standardized manner on calibrated chest roentgenograms was determined serially in 125 patients after acute myocardial infarction. This external left heart dimension (LHD) was compared to the normal value, and its prognostic value was assessed during early and late follow-up periods (average 10, range 2-31 months). Within 96 ho...
متن کاملImpact of microvascular integrity and local viability on left ventricular remodelling after reperfused acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To assess left ventricular remodelling in patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction and to study its relation to microvascular damage. PATIENTS 25 patients successfully treated by primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. SETTING University hospital METHODS Indexed end diastolic (EDVi) and end systolic (ESVi) volumes were assessed on a...
متن کاملUnfavourable left ventricular remodelling in patients with dobutamine-inducible ischaemia after acute myocardial infarction.
AIMS Aim of the study was to assess the role of early inducible ischaemia for determining left ventricular remodelling in patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS In 179 consecutive patients with first myocardial infarction the occurrence of new wall motion abnormalities during dobutamine stress echocardiography at discharge was related to the left ventricular volume cha...
متن کاملAdverse left ventricular remodelling after acute myocardial infarction: is there a simple treatment that really works?
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with its accompanyingadverse sequelae, remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Following AMI and secondary to the loss of functional myocardium, the heart undergoes adaptive responses in an attempt to maintain the same cardiac output. The physical changes to the heart that occur as a result of these responses is termed re...
