Increases Myocardial Infarct Size in Rats
Background Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been epidemiologically linked to death from ischemic heart disease in nonsmokers. In this study, we evaluated the influence of 3 days, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks of ETS exposure on myocardial infarct size in a rat ischemia/reperfusion model. Methods and Results Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to ETS (four Marlboro cigarettes per 15 minutes, 6 h...
متن کاملAdenosine diphosphate reduces infarct size and improves porcine heart function after myocardial infarct
Acute myocardial infarction continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Timely reperfusion can substantially improve outcomes and the administration of cardioprotective substances during reperfusion is therefore highly attractive. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and uridine-5-triphoshate (UTP) are both released during myocardial ischemia, influencing hemodynamics. Both mediate the rel...
متن کاملMyocardial Infarct Size and Location
Recent infarcts were compared with the anatomic boundaries of the involved vascular bed in human hearts to determine the amount and location of necrosis in relation to the myocardium at risk. The coronary arteries were injected with BaSo4 in 18 human hearts with 3-16-day-old infarcts. Thin (3-4-mm) slices were cut at 10-15-mm intervals, photographed, x-rayed and used for histologic analysis. In...
متن کاملMyocardial Infarct Size in Humans
Background. The influence of coronary collateral vessels on infarct size in humans remains controversial, partly because no previous study has examined the impact of collaterals present at the onset of acute myocardial infarction on infarct size. Methods and Results. The present study used the data base of the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Phase I trial to correlate the presence ...
متن کاملMyocardial infarct size and ventricular function in rats.
To define the relationship between infarct size and ventricular performance, we performed hemodynamic studies in rats 21 days after left coronary artery occlusion. Ventricular performance was assessed under ether anesthesia by measurements of baseline hemodynamics and stressed performance as determined by the peak cardiac output and stroke volume obtained during intravenous volume loading and b...
