Myocardial Stunning with Hemodialysis: Clinical Challenges of the Cardiorenal Patient.
We discuss the current state of knowledge related to the pathogenesis of myocardial stunning as well as the potential mechanisms responsible for the clinical presentation of myocardial stunning in hemodialysis patients. We suggest future research areas for this critical and clinically important condition in this high-risk patient population. In consideration of acute and chronic changes seconda...
متن کاملClinical Progress Myocardial ' Stunning ' in Man Roberto
T he progress of medicine is often driven by the development of new ideas in the experimental laboratory and their subsequent application to clinical practice. Sometimes the clinical usefulness of these ideas may not be evident when they are first formulated but becomes apparent after a period of time. The concept of postischemic myocardial dysfunction, or "myocardial stunning,"' is a classic e...
متن کاملMechanism of myocardial "stunning".
Among the numerous mechanisms proposed for myocardial stunning, three appear to be more plausible: 1) generation of oxygen radicals, 2) calcium overload, and 3) excitation-contraction uncoupling. First, the evidence for a pathogenetic role of oxygen-derived free radicals in myocardial stunning is overwhelming. In the setting of a single 15-minute coronary occlusion, mitigation of stunning by an...
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملMyocardial Stunning in Dogs
This study was undertaken to elucidate whether cal-adrenoceptor activity is beneficial to contractile dysfunction during reperfusion after a brief period of ischemia (stunned myocardium) in 54 open-chest dogs. Contractile dysfunction assessed by fractional shortening (FS) was observed 3 hours after the onset of reperfusion following 15 minutes of complete occlusion of the left anterior descendi...
