Aldosterone Receptor Antagonist and Heart Failure Following Acute Myocardial Infarction
The presence of heart failure or LV systolic dysfunction in the setting of acute myocardial infarction is associated with poor prognosis. Aldosterone is an important downstream mediator of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which, in the post-acute myocardial infarction setting, promotes myocardial collagen deposition, myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, endothelial dysfunction, ventricular r...
متن کاملPathophysiology of heart failure following myocardial infarction.
The structural and functional abnormalities that lead to cardiac death are coronary artery disease and left ventricular abnormalities related to remodelling (left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and left ventricular fibrosis). Aldosterone adversely affects all of these processes. It produces both a vasculopathy and left ventricular dysfunction and fibrosis. Endot...
متن کاملAcute heart failure after myocardial infarction.
We compared two groups of patients after acute myocardial infarction. First group was treated with fibrinolytics and they were hospitalized within six hours from the beginning of the first chest-symptoms, and second group that did not come within optimal time was treated with anticoagulants only. The patients were classified according to Killip-classification, shock-index and TIMI-risk-score af...
متن کاملHeart failure complicating acute myocardial infarction.
Factors predisposing the older person with acute myocardial infarction (MI) to develop heart failure (HF) include an increased prevalence of MI, multivessel coronary artery disease, decreased left ventricular (LV) contractile reserve, impairment of LV diastolic relaxation, increased hypertension, LV hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, valvular heart disease, and renal insufficiency. HF associated w...
متن کاملRight and left heart pressures in acute myocardial infarction.
AUTHORS' SYNOPSIS In dogs the effects of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on right and left heart pressure relationships were studied. Right atrial pressure was a poor predictor of left heart pressures. Pulmonary artery end-diastolic, left atrial, and left ventricular end-diastolic pressures tended to equalize in normals (except with tachycardia) and after AMI. In a previously scarred left ven...
