Myocardial Infarction and No Residual Ischemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
wave myocardial infarction, no redistribution on stress 20TI test, and single-vessel disease (>70% stenosis) with persistent anterograde blood flow were randomized to percutaneous transluminal coronary artery angioplasty (PTCA) or conservative medical treatment. After 2 months of follow-up, mean coronary blood flow measured by Doppler catheter in the infarct-related artery was higher in the PICA treatment group (33±6 ml/min, n=8) than in the conservative treatment group (16±4 ml/min, n=7;p<0.05 between groups). The 2`FTI pathological-to-normal ratios measured on postexercise images did not change in patients treated conservatively during the follow-up period (A=+1 1+2 2%; NS from baseline) but increased significantly in patients treated by PTCA (A=+8.5±2.3%; p<0.01 from baseline; p<0.05 between groups). Segmental wall motion improved on left ventricular angiography 2 months after PTCA (A= +11.5+2.2%; p<0.001 from baseline) significantly more than in the conservative treatment group (A= +4.1+1.4%; p<0.05 between both groups). Improvements of 2'1Tl ratios and segmental wall motion indexes correlated significantly (r=0.73, p=0.002). The mild improvement of global left ventricular ejection fraction measured in the PTCA treatment group did not differ significantly from changes in the conservative treatment group. Conclusions. Successful angioplasty of the stenotic infarct artery in patients with a Q wave myocardial infarction and no residual ischemia improved coronary flow, 2`TI uptake in the infarct area, and regional wall motion. Therefore, myocardial viability may last several weeks, as long as residual blood flow persists in the infarct-related artery. Optimal assessment of viability by imaging techniques should identify patients who are most likely to benefit from revascularization. (Circulation 1992;86:47-55)

Introdution: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a period of high-intensity interval training on regulation signaling of factors involved in vascular changes following myocardial ischemia. Methods: 28 rats (200-250 g) were randomly assigned into four groups of sham, ischemia, training, and training-ischemia in this study. Myocardial infarction was performed by closing descending coro...
متن کاملMyocardial Infarction in a Rhesus Monkey
Myocardial necrosis can be result from a number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, chemical and plant toxins, ischemia and metabolic disorder. The outcome of myocardial necrosis varies depending on the extent of the damage (Donald 2001, Jubb 1993, Radostits 1994, Vanvaleet 1986). Myocardial infarction without demonstrable of atherosclerosis were reported in a rhesus macaque (Gonder 1...
متن کاملCxcr4 expression is associated with time–course permanent and temporary myocardial infarction in rats
Objective(s): Experimental myocardial infarction triggers secretion of Stromal cell-derived factor1 and lead to increase in the expression of its receptor "CXCR4" on the surface of various cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression pattern of CXCR4 in peripheral blood cells following time-course permanent and temporary ischemia in rats. Materials and Methods: Fourteen male Wist...
