Impaired relaxation despite upregulated calcium-handling protein atrial myocardium from type 2 diabetic patients with preserved ejection fraction
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction is a key factor in the development and pathology of cardiac dysfunction in diabetes, however the exact underlying mechanism remains unknown, especially in humans. We aimed to measure contraction, relaxation, expression of calcium-handling proteins and fibrosis in myocardium of diabetic patients with preserved systolic function. METHODS Right atrial appendages ...
متن کاملRole of intracellular calcium handling in force-interval relationships of human ventricular myocardium.
Experiments were performed in human working myocardium to investigate the relationship of intracellular calcium handling and availability to alterations in the strength of contraction produced by changes in stimulation rate and pattern. Both control and myopathic muscles exhibited potentiation of peak isometric force during the postextrasystolic contraction which was associated with an increase...
متن کاملPreconditioning the diabetic human myocardium
Our objective was to determine whether human diabetic myocardium is amenable to the cardioprotective actions of ischaemic preconditioning. Human right atrial appendages were harvested from diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The atrial trabeculae were isolated and subjected to 90 min. of hypoxia followed by 120 min. of reoxygenation, foll...
متن کاملMyofilament calcium regulation in human myocardium.
BACKGROUND We investigated whether decreased myofilament calcium contractile activation may, in part, contribute to heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Calcium concentration required for 50% activation and Hill coefficient for fibers from nonfailing and failing human hearts at pH 7.1 were not different. Maximum calcium-activated force (F(max)) was also not different. However, at pH 6.8 and 6.9...
متن کاملAlterations in contractile properties and Ca2+ handling in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat myocardium.
The mechanisms of the slower time courses of Ca2+transients (CaT) and contraction in diabetic (diabetes mellitus, DM) myocardium were studied. The aequorin method was applied to papillary muscles of streptozotocin-induced DM and control rats. The time courses of CaT and tension of twitch in DM were slower than those in control, although the magnitudes of the CaT and contraction were identical. ...
