چکیده
We investigated the relationship between regional myocardial blood flow (MBF) and segmental shortening in 17 open-chest dogs. The left anterior descending coronary artery was cannulated and perfused from the left carotid while measuring perfusion pressure. Graded occlusion was produced by a screw clamp. Extent of occlusion was monitored by perfusion pressure. Percent systolic shortening (% delta L) was measured using ultrasonic crystals implanted in normal and ischemic endocardium and ischemic epicardium. MBF was measured in ischemic and normal endocardium and epicardium with tracer microspheres. Dogs underwent 1 to 4 grades of coronary stenosis. Myocardial blood flow both to endocardium and epicardium was found to be linearly related to diastolic perfusion pressure below 50 mmHg (r = 0.803 and 0.748, respectively). Normalized % delta L (N% delta L) was best related to fraction normal zone MBF in the endocardium by the sigmoidal equation, N% delta L = e9.01 MBF-4.03/1 + e9.01 MBF-4.03. % delta L was only weakly related to myocardial blood flow in the epicardium (r = 0.584), and, in four dogs, % delta L was zero in the epicardium despite normal regional blood flow. However, % delta L in the epicardium was linearly related to % delta L in the endocardium (r = 0.78). Thus, endocardial wall motion is related to MBF by a sigmoidal relationship while epicardial wall motion is tethered to endocardial wall motion.

Effect of losartan on NOX2 transcription following acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion
Introduction: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase-2 (Nox2) is one of the predominant sources of ROS production during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and can be induced by angiotensin II. The evidence suggests that pharmacological blockers of renin-angiotensin system can exert direct tissue effects independent of their ability to regulate blood pressure. The mechanism...
متن کاملIncrease of uncoupling protein-2 expression in the ischemic rat heart
Introduction: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been suggested to play an important role in the myocardial damage induced by ischemia – reperfusion. One element believed to be activated by ROS and to contribute to the reduction of ROS production, is the uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2). The objective of this investigation was to explore the effect of myocardial ischemia reperfusion on cardiac UC...

Objective: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) as a simple test which can detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Therefore in this study we try to evaluate the diagnostic value of ABI for silent myocardial ischemia in diabetic patients and compare the results with myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) results. Materials and Methods: All 149 diabetic patients in this study were categorized according...

To study the regional function of nonischemic myocardium after the onset of regional ischemia, graded circumflex coronary arterial stenosis was induced in 18 open-chest anesthetized dogs. Two-dimensional echocardiographic views were obtained at each degree of occlusion in a crosssectional plane marked by two to three metal beads sewn to the left ventricular epicardium. Percent systolic thickeni...
