Neuroendocrine activation after myocardial infarction: causes and consequences.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increases in plasma concentrations of a number of neuroendocrine substances are well documented after myocardial infarction. The objectives of this paper are to describe the time course of neuroendocrine activation after myocardial infarction, the evidence for activation of the cardiac renin-angiotensin system, possible causes and consequences of neuroendocrine activation, the influence of patient genotype on outcome, and the ability of early neuroendocrine activation to predict prognoSiS.

The Effect of Eight Weeks of Intermittent Training with Quercetin Encapsulated Nanoparticles on JNK and ERK Apoptosis Regulators in the Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction
Introduction: Restoration of blood flow to the ischemic heart muscle causes infarction and myocyte death. Quercetin can be effective in treating heart disease due to its antioxidant effect, but its use is limited due to its low solubility in water. Quercetin restriction can be removed by embedding it in carrier nanoparticles. The present study was designed to determine the effect of quercetin e...

Diagnosis of myocardial infarction is very important in a patient with chest pain. Chest pain is not always present or it may be from other causes rather than myocardial infarction. Q wave is present in 30] of infarction. ST,T wave changes are present in all myocardial infarctions, but these changes also are present in myocardial ischernia.

Abstract Introduction: Myocardial Infarction, also known as heart attack, normally occurs due to such causes as smoking, family history, diabetes, and so on. It is recognized as one of the leading causes of death in the world. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the performance of classification models in order to predict Myocardial Infarction, using a feature selection method tha...
متن کاملIncreased N-terminal CgA in circulation associated with cardiac reperfusion in pigs.
AIM Acute myocardial infarction causes neurohumoral activation characterized by increased sympathetic activity. CgA is a protein released during sympathoadrenal stress from neuroendocrine tissue. Recently, increased CgA concentrations in circulation have been reported and suggested to be an independent predictor of mortality after acute myocardial infarction. MATERIALS & METHODS Eighteen pigs...
متن کاملTask for Today: Complete the Puzzle of Circulating Stem Cells and the Atherosclerotic Burden.
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, and it often affects multiple arterial beds at the same time. Why atherosclerosis hits first at the coronary, cerebral, or peripheral level in different patients is unknown. Also, few data are available on how the disease spreads to multiple sites, whether plaque growth progresses linearly over time or if it accelerates suddenly. The recent discovery that ...
