Heart Failure Delayed Postconditioning in the Mouse Heart In Vivo
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background—Reperfusion during acute myocardial infarction remains the best treatment for reducing infarct size. Postconditioning, applied at the onset of reperfusion, reduces myocardial infarction both in animals and humans. The objective of this study was to identify the time delay to apply postconditioning at reperfusion, allowing preservation of cardioprotection in the mouse myocardium. This is a major issue in the management of acute myocardial infarction patients. Methods and Results—Mice were subjected to 40 minutes of ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion (IR60 ). Postconditioning protocols corresponding to repetitive ischemia (3 cycles of 1 minute of ischemia and 1 minute of reperfusion) were applied during early reperfusion at various time durations ( t) after reopening of the coronary artery ( t 10 seconds, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 45 minutes; PostC t). Infarct size/area at risk was reduced by 71% in PostC 1 compared with IR60 mice (P 5 10 ). There was a linear correlation (r 0.91) between infarct size and t, indicating that the cardioprotective effect of delayed postconditioning was progressively attenuated when t time increased. The protective effect of PostC 1 and PostC 15 was still effective when the duration of reperfusion was prolonged to 24 hours (IR24 hours; PostC 1 and PostC 15 versus IR24 hours, P 0.001). Similar results were obtained for internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and lactate dehydrogenase release. Conclusions—This study in our in vivo mouse model of myocardial IR shows for the first time that delaying the intervention of postconditioning to 30 minutes does not abrogate the cardioprotective effect of postconditioning. This finding provides evidence that the time window of protection afforded by postconditioning may be larger than initially reported. (Circulation. 2011;124:1330-1336.)

Cardioprotective effects of ischemic postconditioning in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention, evaluated by magnetic resonance.
BACKGROUND Postconditioning has been suggested to reduce myocardial damage during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. However, because clinical experience is limited, we examined the cardioprotective effects of postconditioning, using cardiac MRI in patients treated with PPCI. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred eighteen p...

Objective(s): In heart failure, the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of the delayed image and washout rate (WR) are well-known as a powerful cardiac event predictors. H/M ratio quantifies the accumulation rate of MIBG in the myocardium and WR quantifies reduction of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) accumulation in the heart from the early planar image to the delayed pla...

Introduction: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of postconditioning by natural honey on cardiac arrhythmias in the ischemic isolated rat heart. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups then anesthetized by sodium pentobarbital. The animal hearts were removed and quickly mounted on a Langendorff apparatus and perfused under constant pressure by a modified Krebs-H...
