Myocardial injury from therapeutic irradiation.
In patients who undergo radiotherapy for malignant disease in the region of the chest, the diagnosis of cardiac infarction has sometimes been entertained when chest pain has appeared as a prominent symptom during or after treatment. To resolve this diagnosis presupposes a knowledge of the effects of radiation upon the heart, and the changes that such treatment by itself can produce in the elect...
متن کاملMyocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury: a neglected therapeutic target.
Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. In patients with MI, the treatment of choice for reducing acute myocardial ischemic injury and limiting MI size is timely and effective myocardial reperfusion using either thombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, the process of reperfusion can itself induce cardiomyocyt...
متن کاملSuccinate metabolism: a new therapeutic target for myocardial reperfusion injury.
Myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is a major cause of death worldwide and remains a disease for which current clinical therapies are strikingly deficient. While the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a critical driver of tissue damage upon reperfusion, the precise mechanisms underlying ROS production have remained elusive. More recently, it has been demonstr...
متن کاملTherapeutic effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and losartan co-administration on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats
Introduction: Studies support the idea that low levels of vitamin D are associated with a higher risk of heart disease. Losartan has also been prescribed as a drug commonly used for treating hypertension. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in combination with a non-hypotensive dose of losartan on myocardial infarct size, reperfusion-induced...
متن کاملPathophysiology of Ischemia/Reperfusion-induced Myocardial Injury: What We Have Learned From Preconditioning and Postconditioning?
Organ damage after reperfusion of previously viable ischemic tissues is defined as ischemia/reperfusion injury. The pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury involves cellular effect of ischemia, reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cascade. Protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury may be achieved by preconditioning or postconditioning. In this review, we discuss basic mechan...
