Free radicals and myocardial injury: pharmacologic implications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A GROWING NUMBER of articles purport to demonstrate the importance of oxygen free radicals in a variety of pathophysiologic processes, including injury due to radiation, inflammation, and oxygen toxicity. The purpose of this essay is to examine the hypothesis that activated oxygen species may play a role in the extension of myocardial injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. Activated oxygen species include-superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical. By virtue of

Reperfusion injury and its pharmacologic modification.
Reperfusion injury includes a spectrum of events, such as reperfusion arrhythmias, vascular damage and no-reflow, and myocardial functional stunning. The concept of reperfusion injury remains controversial with many proposed mechanisms when applied to humans, whereas in animal models, there are two main proposed mechanisms: calcium over-load and formation of oxygen free radicals. To prove that ...
متن کاملThe role of the neutrophil and free radicals in ischemic myocardial injury.
The association of coronary artery thrombosis with the onset of acute myocardial infarction has provided the rationale for the development of pharmacologic and/or physical methods for the restoration of coronary artery blood flow. The institution of pharmacologic methods for myocardial reperfusion has resulted in a reduction in mortality leading to acceptance of thrombolytic therapy as the stan...

متن کاملThe role of neutrophils in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Reperfusion of ischemic myocardium is necessary to salvage tissue from eventual death. However, reperfusion after even brief periods of ischemia is associated with pathologic changes that represent either an acceleration of processes initiated during ischemia per se, or new pathophysiological changes that were initiated after reperfusion. This 'reperfusion injury' shares many characteristics wi...
متن کاملEffects of exogenous free radicals on electromechanical function and metabolism in isolated rabbit and guinea pig ventricle. Implications for ischemia and reperfusion injury.
Oxygen-derived free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction during ischemia, postischemic myocardial "stunning," and reperfusion injury. We investigated the effects of oxygen-derived free radicals on cardiac function in intact isolated rabbit hearts and single guinea pig ventricular myocytes. In the intact rabbit ventricle, exposure to free radical-generating sy...
