Myocardial Dysfunction in Donor Hearts
Background—Potential cardiac donors show various degrees of myocardial dysfunction, and the most severely affected hearts are unsuitable for transplantation. The cause of this acute heart failure is poorly understood. We investigated whether alterations in calcium-handling proteins, b-adrenoceptor density, or the inhibitory G protein Gia could account for this phenomenon in unused donor hearts ...

BACKGROUND Potential cardiac donors show various degrees of myocardial dysfunction, and the most severely affected hearts are unsuitable for transplantation. The cause of this acute heart failure is poorly understood. We investigated whether alterations in calcium-handling proteins, beta-adrenoceptor density, or the inhibitory G protein Gialpha could account for this phenomenon in unused donor ...
متن کاملTwo donor hearts beat in one chest.
We present the case of a 52-year-old man who had end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ejection fraction, 0.14) and type-A blood. He underwent orthotopic transplantation with a heart from a blood-type-A male donor on 18 January 2001. After transplantation, the patient could not be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass. Due to calcification of the left main and right coronary arteries,...
متن کاملThe effect of asafoetida essential oil on myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts
Objective: Previous studies reported that asafetida from Ferula assa-foetida Linn. species and its essential oil (AEO) have antioxidant effects. In the present study, the effect of AEO was evaluated on ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: 1) control group, 2) vehicle group, 3-5) AEO groups and, 6) car...
متن کاملPlatelets protect against myocardial dysfunction and injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion in isolated rat hearts.
Platelets are a source of vasoactive mediators that regulate vascular tone. Platelets also play a role in intravascular thrombus formation and dynamic coronary constriction that result in myocardial ischemia. However, effects of platelets on myocardial function after ischemia and reperfusion are unknown. In this study, we examined the effects of platelets on myocardial dysfunction caused by isc...
