Reduction 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 کامل'Expected infarct size without thrombolysis', a concept that predicts immediate and long-term benefit from thrombolysis for evolving myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Thrombolytic therapy should only be used when expected benefits outweigh the risks. In order to obtain a precise estimation of prognosis, with and without thrombolytic therapy, we postulated that mortality reduction by thrombolytic therapy is a function of the area of myocardium at risk for necrosis. We developed a model to estimate the myocardial area at risk for necrosis from clini...
متن کاملFirst molecular evidence that inositol trisphosphate signaling contributes to infarct size reduction with preconditioning.
Considerable attention has focused on the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in triggering the profound infarct-sparing effect of ischemic preconditioning (PC). In contrast, the involvement of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)], the second messenger generated in parallel with the diacylglycerol-PKC pathway, remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that, if Ins(1,4,5)P(3) signaling [i.e...
متن کاملReduction 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 کاملIntra-arterial thrombolysis in acute brainstem infarct.
A young male presented with vertebrobasilar ischaemic stroke. He was given intra-arterial thrombolysis, following which he showed gradual partial recovery.
