Coronary Artery Occlusion

چکیده
Background. Patients with acute ischemic right ventricular dysfunction often develop hemodynamic compromise, yet most manifest spontaneous early clinical improvement and later recovery of global right ventricular performance. This study was designed to delineate the determinants of right ventricular performance following chronic right coronary artery occlusion. Methods and Results. Thrombotic right coronary artery occlusion was induced in 16 closed-chest dogs. Acute occlusion depressed right ventricular free wall motion (motion score, 1.0±0.0 to 3.4±0.1*) and global performance (right ventricular fractional area change, 29.2±1.8% to 2.3±1.9%o*). There was right ventricular dilatation and reversed septal curvature, with elevated and equalized diastolic filling pressures. At 5 days, despite persistent severe right ventricular free wall dysfunction (motion score, 3.4±0.1 to 2.7±0.1*), global right ventricular performance improved (fractional area change, 2.3±1.9%o to 17.0±3.8%*), in part due to reduced right ventricular free wall dyskinesis associated with increased right ventricular free wall end-diastolic thickness. At 7 weeks, collateral flow had restored right ventricular free wall perfusion to baseline values. The increased right ventricular free wall thickness had resolved, right ventricular free wall motion was improved (2.7±0.1 to 1.6±0.1*), and global right ventricular performance had recovered further (17.0±3.8 to 20.9±:0.9). Right ventricular dilatation was reduced, septal curvature normalized, and there was resolution of equalized filling pressures. Histopathological analysis demonstrated minimal right ventricular infarction. Conclusions. Acute right coronary artery occlusion results in right ventricular free wall dyskinesis and depressed global right ventricular performance. Global right ventricular function improves early, in part due to reduced right ventricular free wall dyskinesis associated with increased right ventricular free wall diastolic thickness. Collateral restoration of perfusion facilitates late recovery of right ventricular free wall function (*P<.05). (Circulation 1993;88:696-708)

Rapid Spontaneous Coronary Artery Reperfusion Following Severe Bradycardia During Exercise Tolerance Test: A Rare Case Report
The acute occlusion of a coronary artery without the evidence of myocardial infarction might immediately affect both the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. We present the case with a sudden occlusion of the left main coronary artery without typical chest pain following an exercise tolerance test and rapid spontaneous reperfusion of the left main coronary artery.
متن کاملEffects of Exercise Training and Consumption of Fenugreek Seed Extract on Expression of Oxidised LDL and ROS-related Genes in Patients with Coronary Artery Occlusion
Background and objectives: Sedentary life style and high-fat diet are one of the key causes of coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of periodic exercise and consumption of fenugreek seed extract on the expression of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) genes in patients with coronary artery occlusion. Methods: The present ...
متن کاملIncidence of radial artery occlusion in radial angiography compared with snuffbox angiography
Background: Transradial access is one of the main access techniques in angiography. This method is technically more difficult as it is associated with radial artery occlusion. Radial artery cannulation from the dorsal surface of the hand in the snuffbox area has been introduced as a suitable solution to overcome some of the disadvantages of the standard radial artery method. This study was cond...

متن کاملCoronary inflow and outflow responses to coronary artery occlusion.
Sudden complete occlusion of a major coronary artery (left circumflex or right coronary artery) was produced in anesthetized dogs. The effect on arterial inflow, venous outflow and O« saturation of coronary venous blood from the nonischemic left ventricle was studied. The usual response to occlusion of the left circumflex artery was an increase in flow in the left anterior descending artery and...
متن کاملCanine myocardial creatine kinase isoenzymes after chronic coronary artery occlusion.
BACKGROUND Creatine kinase (CK) exists as three cytosolic isoenzymes, CK-MM, CK-MB, and CK-BB, and one mitochondrial isoenzyme. Animal and human observations suggest that the CK-MB content of myocardium is dynamic and may increase in response to ischemia, but the response of the myocardial CK system to chronic coronary artery occlusion is not well-defined. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured seri...
