متن کاملSyndecan-4 prevents cardiac rupture and dysfunction after myocardial infarction.
RATIONALE Syndecan-4 (Syn4), a cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan, has been detected in the infarct region after myocardial infarction (MI), but its functional significance has not been elucidated. OBJECTIVE We examined whether and how Syn4 regulates the cardiac healing process after MI. METHODS AND RESULTS Although the heart in Syn4-deficient (Syn4(-/-)) mice was morphologically and...
متن کاملRenin-angiotensin system and cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction.
Of all the mechanical complications after acute myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac rupture remains the most devastating, dramatic, and deadly. Continued improvements in the care of patients with acute MI have decreased the incidence of cardiac rupture over the past decade to under 3% in patients receiving reperfusion therapy,1 although autopsy evaluation of patients who died suddenly with acut...
متن کاملDeveloping cardiac rupture as initial sign of acute myocardial infarction.
Pathological data are given of 4 patients in whom the development of cardiac rupture was the initial sign of myocardial infarction. The term 'concealed cardiac rupture' is proposed for this condition. In each instance the clinical diagnosis was 'onset of infarction', whereas the necropsy suggested that the acute onset of symptoms was caused by the start of rupture. The arguments for classifying...
