Autonomic neural influences on the dysrhythmias resulting from myocardial infarction.
THE VAST majority of deaths associated with myocardial infarction occur within the first few hours of the acute attack and are secondary to ventricular dysrhythmias evolving to ventricular fibrillation. Although the precise mechanisms responsible for these lethal dysrhythmias remain elusive, a large body of data indicates that profound alterations in autonomic nervous system function occur duri...
متن کاملCircadian influences on myocardial infarction
Components of circadian rhythm maintenance, or "clock genes," are endogenous entrainable oscillations of about 24 h that regulate biological processes and are found in the suprachaismatic nucleus (SCN) and many peripheral tissues, including the heart. They are influenced by external cues, or Zeitgebers, such as light and heat, and can influence such diverse phenomena as cytokine expression immu...
متن کاملBretylium tosylate in prevention of cardiac dysrhythmias after myocardial infarction.
The prophylactic value of parenterally administered bretylium tosylate against the onset of dysrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction has been assessed by a controlled trial in 101 male patients. Bretylium significantly reduced the incidence of supraventricular dysrhythmias but was without significant effect on the incidence of ventricular dysrhythmias. The only serious side-effect of the ...
متن کاملNeural Remodeling and Myocardial Infarction
A link between the autonomic nervous system and sudden cardiac death (SCD) is well recognized (1,2). However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain incompletely understood. Proarrhythmic changes occur at the level of the myocardium and presumably at higher levels of the cardiac neuraxis. Intramyocardial nerve sprouts in border zones of infarcts and remote normal tissue have been ob...
متن کاملRecurrent myocardial infarction: Mechanisms of free-floating adaptation and autonomic derangement in networked cardiac neural control
The cardiac nervous system continuously controls cardiac function whether or not pathology is present. While myocardial infarction typically has a major and catastrophic impact, population studies have shown that longer-term risk for recurrent myocardial infarction and the related potential for sudden cardiac death depends mainly upon standard atherosclerotic variables and autonomic nervous sys...
