Left atrial function after myocardial infarction in swine
Background Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in United States, and is associated with atrial fibrosis. Although the cause of atrial fibrosis development is not understood, its etiology is related to cardiac dysfunction, mitral regurgitation (MR), and coronary artery disease. This study focuses on determining the acute effects of myocardial infarction (MI) on left atrial (LA) fun...
متن کاملImportance of left atrial function in patients with myocardial infarction.
Left atrial function was evaluated in patients with and without remote myocardial infarction. The simultaneous left atrial pressure recording and left atrial and left ventricular cineangiograms were obtained with a catheter-tip micromanometer. The pressure-volume curve of the left atrium was composed of an A-loop and a V-loop. The ratio of active atrial emptying to left ventricular stroke volum...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: The study was taken up to evaluate the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in male patients. Method: A hospital based study was conducted at tertiary care centre in UP, India with 60 male healthy controls and 125 confirmed cases of AMI admitted to the coronary care unit who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. After a clinical examin...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular function after myocardial infarction.
Left ventricular (LV) function is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality after myocardial infarction (MI). Changes in LV function have been examined during the early and late phases after MI, but serial measurements of LV function during the subacute period have not been performed. To assess sequential changes in LV function during the subacute period after MI, we used quantitative t...
متن کاملExaggerated atrial arachidonate metabolism in rabbit left ventricular myocardial infarction.
Isolated perfused rabbit hearts that have previously been subjected to in vivo left ventricular myocardial infarction respond to N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or bradykinin (BK) administration with the synthesis of large quantities of eicosanoids. To anatomically localize these synthetic responses we studied the effects of fMLP and BK on eicosanoid synthesis in isolated atria an...
