The pathology of myocardial ischaemia.
نویسنده
چکیده
To understand the pathology of myocardial ischaemia detailed knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the coronary arterial tree is required. The anatomy of the major coronary arteries running on the epicardial surface of the heart has been common knowledge for years. The equally important micro-anatomy of vessels within the myocardium has been neglected along with the physiology of intramyocardial blood flow.

Objective(s): Reperfusion of ischaemic myocardium results in reduced nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) leading to endothelial dysfunction and subsequent tissue damage. Impaired NO biosynthesis may be partly due to increased levels of asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of eNOS. As dimethylarginine dimet...
متن کاملTracing ischemic memory by metabolic pathways: BMIPP and beyond
Myocardial ischemia (MI) resulting in infarction is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Acute ischaemia rapidly impairs myocardial contractile function. Myocardial dysfunction persisting for several hours after transient non-lethal ischaemia, eventually resulting in full functional recovery is termed as myocardial stunning. Hibernation is now thought to be...
متن کاملEffects of hydroalcoholic extract from aerial parts of the sterile stems of Stachys inflata on myocardial infarct size in rats
Recently a potent anti-inflammatory effect of hydroalcoholic extract of the aerial parts of the sterile stems of Stachys inflata has been reported. This study examined whether hydroalcoholic extract isolated from aerial parts of non-flowering stems of Stachys inflata (standardized to contain 4.5% caffeic acid derivatives) reduce myocardial infarct size arising from coronary artery occlusion (30...

متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide in reversible myocardial ischaemia.
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease is associated with increased B-type natriuretic peptides (BNPs), and, although controversial, may cause exaggerated exercise-induced BNP secretion. We investigated BNP in relation to reversible myocardial ischaemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) was measured before and after an exercise electrocardiogram test (ETT) in 14 patients w...
