Assessing the myocardium after attempted reperfusion: should we bother?
In patients with AMI who have undergone attempted reperfusion, two questions need to be answered. The first, and the most obvious, is whether the myocardium has been successfully reperfused. The second, and perhaps equally important, is how much of the myocardium has been salvaged, and how much can still potentially be salvaged? To answer these questions, one must have the tools to accurately a...
متن کاملPatterns of myoglobin release after reperfusion of injured myocardium.
Myoglobin is an intracardiac protein that is released into the blood after myocardial injury and is then cleared rapidly by the kidneys. This study was undertaken to determine whether successful reperfusion of damaged myocardium could be assessed by examination of blood myoglobin concentration-time patterns. After release of a 2 hr occlusion of the mid left anterior descending coronary artery i...
متن کاملPneumoretroperitoneum after Attempted Epidural Anesthesia
Air may extend to the retroperitoneal space from retroperitoneal perforation of a hollow viscus, infection of the anterior pararenal space with gas-forming organisms and from pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum [1]. Rare pathologies, such as open reduction and internal fixation of femoral fractures and anaerobic abscess of the hip joint have also been described in relation to this complication [1...
متن کاملInterleukin-8 gene induction in the myocardium after ischemia and reperfusion in vivo.
Neutrophil adhesion and direct cytotoxicity for cardiac myocytes require chemotactic stimulation and are dependent upon CD18-ICAM-1 binding. To characterize the potential role of IL-8 in this interaction, canine IL-8 cDNA was cloned and the mature recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 cells. Recombinant canine IL-8 markedly increased adhesion of neutrophils to isolated canine c...
متن کاملOxygen reperfusion is limited in the postischemic hypertrophic myocardium.
Studies have shown that hypertrophied hearts are unusually vulnerable to ischemia. Compromised O2 supply has been postulated as a possible explanation for this phenomenon on the basis of elongated O2 diffusion distance and altered coronary vasculature found in hypertrophied myocardium. To examine the postulate, perfused heart experiments followed the metabolic and functional responses of hypert...
