In Vitro Studies of the Coronary Arteries of Man and Swine as Demonstrated by a New
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new in vitro technic for the study of isolated surviving arteries and veins is described. Observations of the reactivity of 21 human and 68 swine coronary arteries to histamine, acetylcholine, l-epinephrine and l-norepinephrine are reported. Histamine and acetylcholine uniformly caused vasoconstriction of the coronary arteries of man and swine. Three potential mechanisms of coronary artery vasoconstriction in these species are suggested. The blocking action of antihistaminic drugs on vasoconstriction due to histamine, and of atropine on vasoconstriction due to acetylcholine is demonstrated. It is suggested that combined therapy with these drugs may be useful in treatment of diseases of the coronary arteries.

متن کاملCongenital Absence of Left Circumflex Coronary Artery
Congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. The prevalence of the anomaly in different studies ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%. Of these, 80% are benign and asymptomatic and 20% are clinically important. We report a 56-year-old man presented with acute resting chest pain who was diagnosed as having acute anterolateral infarction accompanied by el...
متن کاملThe Adverse Effects of Nicotine and Carbon Monoxide on Cardiovascular Disease
Cigarette smoking causes injury of coronary arteries as well as other arteries. Sudden death is more frequent in heavy smokers than in non smokers. Studies showed that dangerous arrhythmias will be the result of effect of nicotine when injected in the animals. Carbon-monooxide is also dangerous for man when it is produced by smoking. The prevention of heart disease will be more satisfactory ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue as a New Indicator of Cardiovascular Risk
Abstract Background and Purpose: Epicardial fat is the true visceral fat located around the heart, particularly around sub-epicardial coronary arteries that may locally interact and modulate the coronary arteries and myocardium through paracrine or vasocrine secretion of anti-inflammatory and proatherogenic cytokines. Most previous studies have used echocardiography and reported controversia...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Patency Rate of the Coronary Arteries after Treatment with Heberkinase
Background: Intravenous thrombolytic therapy is still the most common treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in our country. In recent years, some cases of suboptimal results of the treatment with a special trademark (Heberkinase) have been reported. So, we decided to evaluate the patency rate of arteries involved in infarction after treatment with Heberkinase. Materials and Methods:...
