Hemodynamic Measurements of Left Ventricle (LV) Function Post Myocardial Infarct (MI) using Pressure Volume (PV) Loops in Rodents
ثبت نشده
چکیده
When using invasive methods to measure hemodynamic parameters in rodents, most researchers studying chronic myocardial infarct are using permanent suture-induced descending coronary artery occlusion. Usually, they perform the Pressure-Volume (PV) Catheter study at 4 weeks (28 days) post-MI (3, 4, 8). Some researchers extend the artery occlusion study time another 2 weeks (1, 2) to study the effect of chronic heart failure/animal survival.

The Effect of Oral Consumption of Probiotics in Prevention of Heart Injury in a Rat Myocardial Infarction Model: a Histopathological, Hemodynamic and Biochemical Evaluation
Background: Despite the emerging evidence on beneficial effects of probiotics on the cardiovascular system, their impact on the management of ischemic heart diseases and its possible mechanism have not been elucidated. Methods: Four viable probiotics bacterial strains, including Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, at the concentrat...
متن کاملInfluence of gender on the response to hemodynamic overload after myocardial infarction.
After myocardial infarction (MI), the left ventricle (LV) undergoes ventricular remodeling characterized by progressive global dilation, infarct expansion, and compensatory hypertrophy of the noninfarcted myocardium. Little attention has been given to the response of remodeling myocardium to additional hemodynamic overload. Studies have indicated that gender may influence remodeling and the res...
متن کاملImplantation of a three-dimensional fibroblast matrix improves left ventricular function and blood flow after acute myocardial infarction.
This study was designed to determine if a viable biodegradable three-dimensional fibroblast construct (3DFC) patch implanted on the left ventricle after myocardial infarction (MI) improves left ventricular (LV) function and blood flow. We ligated the left coronary artery of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats and implanted the 3DFC at the time of the infarct. Three weeks after MI, the 3DFC improved ...
متن کاملChronic phospholamban inhibition prevents progressive cardiac dysfunction and pathological remodeling after infarction in rats.
Ablation or inhibition of phospholamban (PLN) has favorable effects in several genetic murine dilated cardiomyopathies, and we showed previously that a pseudophosphorylated form of PLN mutant (S16EPLN) successfully prevented progressive heart failure in cardiomyopathic hamsters. In this study, the effects of PLN inhibition were examined in rats with heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function and remodeling after myocardial infarction in aging rats.
- Adaptations of the aging left ventricle (LV) to hemodynamic overload are functionally and structurally distinct from those of the young organism. This study describes the influence of aging on LV hemodynamics and remodeling late after myocardial infarction (MI) in Fischer 344 Brown Norway rats. In sham rats at 23 mo, LV weight, myocyte cross-sectional area (CSA), and myocardial fibrosis were ...
