Modification of infarct size.
To the Editor: The article by Maroko and his co-workers entitled "Factors Influencing Infarct Size Following Experimental Coronary Artery Occlusions" (Circulation 43:67, 1971) is indeed a very interesting one and an enthusiastic approach to the problem of modification of the size of an infarct. However, there are several points with regard to the methods that seem to need some clarification. Th...
متن کاملHMG-CoA reductase inhibitors inhibit endothelial exocytosis and decrease myocardial infarct size.
Three-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors protect the vasculature from inflammation and atherosclerosis by cholesterol dependent and cholesterol independent mechanisms. We hypothesized that HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors decrease exocytosis of Weibel-Palade bodies, endothelial cell granules whose contents promote thrombosis and vascular inflammation. We pretreated h...
متن کاملMaking the heart resistant to infarction: how can we further decrease infarct size?
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) following coronary artery occlusion is a common cause of mortality and morbidity world-wide. Patients currently receive reperfusion therapy as the only anti-infarct intervention. A number of agents have been evaluated to further improve myocardial salvage, but until recently, none has demonstrated clear efficacy in clinical trials. A new target of cardioprotect...
متن کاملRelationship Between Myocardial Infarct Size
We compared myocardial infarct size produced by permanent occlusion of the middle left anterior descending (LAD) or circumflex (LCx) coronary artery in the anesthetized dog. The dogs were killed 3-10 days later, and the occluded coronary bed was visualized by postmortem arteriography. The outlines of the infarct and occluded bed were marked on tracings of weighed left ventricular (LV) rings and...
متن کاملThe quantification of infarct size.
We sought to summarize the published evidence regarding the measurement of infarct size by serum markers, technetium-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging. The measurement of infarct size is an attractive surrogate end point for the early assessment of new therapies for acute myocardial infarction. For each ...
