Gene Therapy With Angiotensin-(1-9) Preserves Left Ventricular Systolic Function After Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND Angiotensin-(1-9) [Ang-(1-9)] is a novel peptide of the counter-regulatory axis of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system previously demonstrated to have therapeutic potential in hypertensive cardiomyopathy when administered via osmotic mini-pump. Here, we investigate whether gene transfer of Ang-(1-9) is cardioprotective in a murine model of myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 2 receptor overexpression preserves left ventricular function after myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND The role of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2-R) in left ventricular (LV) remodeling may depend on the underlying stimulus. We hypothesized that cardiac AT2-R overexpression in transgenic (TG) mice would attenuate remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS AND RESULTS Ten wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice and 12 TG mice that overexpress the AT2-R in the heart were studied...
متن کاملAlterations of systolic left ventricular twist after acute myocardial infarction.
We sought to characterize the alterations of left ventricular (LV) twist after acute myocardial infarction in humans and to study their relationship to usual parameters of LV function. Systolic LV twist was measured by color tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) in 34 patients after anterior myocardial infarction and in 20 controls. In a subset of controls and patients, the assessment of LV twi...
متن کاملTransient left ventricular systolic dysfunction mimicking myocardial infarction after pericardiocentesis
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and progressively worsening dyspnoea. Her previous medical history was unremarkable. She was admitted to the internal medicine department. A cardiologist was consulted because of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on her chest Xray. On physical examination her blood pressu...
متن کاملTemporal evolution of left ventricular dyssynchrony after myocardial infarction: relation with changes in left ventricular systolic function.
AIMS The relationship between temporal changes in left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and LV functional recovery after acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the temporal evolution of LV synchronicity after acute MI, and to explore the relationship between changes in LV systolic function and LV synchronicity. METHODS AND RESU...
