Regional differences in function within noninfarcted myocardium during left ventricular remodeling.
BACKGROUND The mechanisms of ventricular enlargement and dysfunction during postinfarct remodeling remain largely unknown. Although global left ventricular architectural changes after myocardial infarction are well documented, differences in function between adjacent and remote noninfarcted myocardium during left ventricular remodeling have not been investigated. These functional differences ma...
متن کاملRegional differences in the force-frequency relation of human left ventricular myocardium in mitral regurgitation: implications for ventricular shape.
Sphericalization of the left ventricular (LV) chamber shape in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) contributes to increased LV wall stress and energy consumption. On the basis of previous observations, we hypothesized the existence of regional differences in the force-frequency relation (FFR) within the LV that may contribute to its shape. Accordingly, in the present study, we assessed regi...
متن کاملRepeated sauna therapy attenuates ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction in rats by increasing coronary vascularity of noninfarcted myocardium.
Repeated sauna therapy (ST) increases endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and improves cardiac function in heart failure as well as peripheral blood flow in ischemic limbs. The present study investigates whether ST can increase coronary vascularity and thus attenuate cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). We induced MI by ligating the left coronary artery of Wistar r...
متن کاملGlobal and Regional Left Ventricular Function
Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this lecture, the participant should be able to: 1. Identify normal and abnormal left ventricular systolic function 2. Perform qualitative and quantitative assessment of left ventricular systolic function 3. Recognize the LV segments and their corresponding coronary distribution 4. Assess regional wall motion in these segments and differentiate between i...
متن کاملAge-related differences in postinfarct left ventricular rupture and remodeling.
Cardiac rupture is more prevalent in elderly patients with first onset of acute myocardial infarct (MI), but the mechanism remains unexplored. We investigated the differences in the incidence of cardiac rupture and early left ventricular (LV) remodeling following coronary artery ligation between old (12-mo) and young (3-mo) C57Bl/6 male mice and explored responsible mechanisms. The incidence of...
