Adenosine diphosphate reduces infarct size and improves porcine heart function after myocardial infarct
Acute myocardial infarction continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Timely reperfusion can substantially improve outcomes and the administration of cardioprotective substances during reperfusion is therefore highly attractive. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and uridine-5-triphoshate (UTP) are both released during myocardial ischemia, influencing hemodynamics. Both mediate the rel...
متن کاملExercise training preserves coronary flow and reduces infarct size after ischemia-reperfusion in rat heart.
The effect of endurance training on the resistance of the heart to left ventricular (LV) functional deficit and infarction after a transient regional ischemia and subsequent reperfusion was examined. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to an endurance exercise training (Tr) group or a sedentary (Sed) control group. After 20 wk of training, hearts were excised, perfused, and instru...
متن کاملMyocardial Infarct Size and Location
Recent infarcts were compared with the anatomic boundaries of the involved vascular bed in human hearts to determine the amount and location of necrosis in relation to the myocardium at risk. The coronary arteries were injected with BaSo4 in 18 human hearts with 3-16-day-old infarcts. Thin (3-4-mm) slices were cut at 10-15-mm intervals, photographed, x-rayed and used for histologic analysis. In...
متن کاملInhibition of myocardial apoptosis reduces infarct size and improves regional contractile dysfunction during reperfusion.
OBJECTIVE Myocardial apoptosis is primarily triggered during reperfusion (R) through various mechanisms that may involve endonuclease to cleavage genomic DNA in the internucleosomal linker regions. However, the relative contribution of myocardial apoptosis to development of myocardial injury during R remains unknown. In the present study, we examined whether inhibition of apoptosis with aurintr...
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...
