Monocytosis and adverse left ventricular remodeling after reperfused myocardial infarction.
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the last decade there has been growing interest in “bedside” protein and cellular markers of inflammation and adverse outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (1–16). In this issue of the Journal, Maekawa et al. (17) address the prognostic significance of peripheral monocytosis found at two to three days after reperfused AMI as a cellular marker for clinical outcome and its possible role in left ventricular (LV) remodeling.

Prognostic significance of peripheral monocytosis after reperfused acute myocardial infarction:a possible role for left ventricular remodeling.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the significance of peripheral monocytosis in clinical outcome after reperfused acute myocardial infarction (AMI), especially relating to post-infarct left ventricular (LV) remodeling. BACKGROUND Peripheral monocytosis occurs two to three days after AMI, reflecting infiltration of monocytes and macrophages into the necrotic myocardium. However...
متن کاملMyocardial remodeling in reperfused myocardial infarction with multiparametric CMR: does diffuse fibrosis occur in remote noninfarcted myocardium?
Background Although mortality from myocardial infarction (MI) has decreased due to improved reperfusion strategies, adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling after MI is associated with poor long-term prognosis and is thus an important therapeutic target. We developed a Yucatan mini-pig model of reperfused MI using percutaneous techniques for coronary occlusion/reperfusion, and sought to charact...
متن کاملLeft ventricular remodeling after reperfused acute myocardial infarction: insights from automated ECV mapping
Background In reperfused acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), infarct size and microvascular obstruction (MVO) are strong predictors of adverse LV remodeling and poor outcome. However, the role of remote myocardium is less clear. Remote native T1 changes have been linked with adverse LV remodeling and is thought to be associated with inflammation. We used automated ECV mapp...

Background—Elderly patients with reperfused ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction are at increased risk for left ventricular remodeling. Extracellular matrix damage has been implicated in early remodeling. We hypothesized that aging results in enhanced early reperfusion injury and left ventricular remodeling after reperfused ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and that early therapy...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Predictors for Left Ventricular Remodeling after Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction with Low Risk Group: Speckle Tracking Analysis
BACKGROUND We sought to assess echocardiographic predictors of left ventricular (LV) adverse remodeling after successfully reperfused acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). LV remodeling is commonly found in STEMI patients and it may suggest adverse outcome in acute myocardial infarction. We sought to identify whether 2D strain and torsion be independent parameters for prediction of ...
