Reduction of experimental myocardial infarct size by corticosteroid administration.
The influence of the administration of pharmacologic doses of hydrocortisone on the extent and severity of acute myocardial ischemic injury and on subsequent necrosis after acute coronary occlusion was investigated in 28 dogs. In order to study acute myocardial injury, repeated epicardial electrocardiograms were recorded from 10 to 15 sites on the anterior surface of the left ventricle. Average...
متن کاملReduction of myocardial infarct size by fluvastatin.
Statins have a variety of cardioprotective properties following chronic treatment. In contrast, little is known about the acute effects. Reperfusion acutely injures the heart by activation of neutrophils as well as endothelial cells. Because statins are known to influence the processes pathogenetically involved, we hypothesized that acute application of statins attenuates the sequelae of cardia...
متن کاملMYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Reduction in experimental infarct size by recombinant human superoxide dismutase : insights into the pathophysiology of reperfusion injury
To determine the importance of reperfusion injury and the ability of the free-radical scavenger recombinant human superoxide dismutase (h-SOD) to prevent it, open-chest dogs underwent 90 min of proximal circumflex coronary artery occlusion, and only at the moment of reperfusion received either h-SOD (400,000 IU bolus into the left atrium followed by a 300,000 IU iv infusion over 1 hr) or saline...
متن کاملReduction of myocardial infarct size by neutrophil depletion: effect of duration of occlusion.
Experiments were performed in the dog to examine the effects of neutropenia on ultimate infarct size resulting from short (90 minutes) or prolonged (4 hours) circumflex coronary artery occlusion. Sheep antiserum to canine neutrophils was used to produce neutropenia. Control animals received nonimmune serum. Neutrophil infiltration into myocardial infarcts was examined using histopathologic tech...
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...
