Thickening of the infarcted wall by collagen injection improves left ventricular function in rats: a novel approach to preserve cardiac function after myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES We determined whether collagen implantation could thicken the infarcted left ventricular (LV) wall and improve LV function. BACKGROUND We hypothesized that thickening the infarcted wall by using collagen might result in some benefits that are similar to what previously had been reported when the infarcted wall was thickened with cells. METHODS Fischer rats with one-week-old myoca...
متن کاملRegional Left Ventricular Wall Thickening
Background. In previous studies comparing regional 20MT1 (201Tl) and 18fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) activity in patients with chronic coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, we hypothesized that regions with mild-to-moderate reduction in FDG activity and regions with mild-to-moderate irreversible 2`Tl defects after 3to 4-hour redistribution represent viable myocardium. In the pres...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of left ventricular wall thickening mechanisms.
BACKGROUND Myocardial fibers are grouped into lamina (or sheets) 3 to 4 cells thick. Fiber shortening produces systolic left ventricular (LV) wall thickening primarily by laminar extension, thickening, and shear, but the regional variability and transmural distribution of these 3 mechanisms are incompletely understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine sheep had transmural radiopaque markers inserted ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy improves cardiac function in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
1. The influence of different arterial pressures on the relationship between diastolic filling pressure and stroke volume was studied during pharmacological cardiac nerve blockade in adult, anaesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats in comparison with matched normotensive Wistar--Kyoto rats. 2. Peak stroke volumes, obtained by rapid blood volume expansion were similar in both types of rat, d...
متن کاملValidity of echocardiographic determination of left ventricular systolic wall thickening.
Previous direct measurements of left ventricular systolic wall thickening (SWT) in animal studies have yielded values approximately one-half those found echocardiographically in humans, suggesting a possible overestimation of SWT by echocardiographic techniques. To test the validity of echocardiographic SWT measurements, the relationship between echocardiographically determined end-diastolic an...
