A highly potent peptide analgesic that protects against ischemia-reperfusion-induced myocardial stunning.
We recently discovered an opioid peptide analgesic, 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine (Dmt)-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH(2) ([Dmt(1)]DALDA), that can protect against ischemia-induced myocardial stunning. In buffer-perfused hearts, 30-min global ischemia followed by reperfusion resulted in a significant increase in norepinephrine (NE) overflow immediately upon reperfusion and significant decline in contractile force (...
متن کاملTroponin I degradation and myocardial stunning.
To the Editor: The article by Feng et al1 caused a revolution in current thinking regarding the pathomechanism involved in myocardial stunning, in that it irrefutably proved that there is no causal link between troponin I (TnI) degradation and the transiently depressed contractile function after a brief ischemic episode. However, does this fact imply that there is no answer to the question of w...
متن کاملMyocardial Stunning with Hemodialysis: Clinical Challenges of the Cardiorenal Patient.
We discuss the current state of knowledge related to the pathogenesis of myocardial stunning as well as the potential mechanisms responsible for the clinical presentation of myocardial stunning in hemodialysis patients. We suggest future research areas for this critical and clinically important condition in this high-risk patient population. In consideration of acute and chronic changes seconda...
متن کاملEffects of heart rate reduction with ivabradine on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and stunning.
We investigated the effects of the selective bradycardic agent ivabradine, an I(f) channel inhibitor, on exercise-induced ischemia and resulting myocardial stunning. Seven dogs were chronically instrumented to measure left ventricular (LV) wall thickening (Wth), aortic pressure and coronary blood flow (CBFv) (Doppler). Circumflex coronary artery stenosis was set up to suppress the increase in C...
متن کاملTracing ischemic memory by metabolic pathways: BMIPP and beyond
Myocardial ischemia (MI) resulting in infarction is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Acute ischaemia rapidly impairs myocardial contractile function. Myocardial dysfunction persisting for several hours after transient non-lethal ischaemia, eventually resulting in full functional recovery is termed as myocardial stunning. Hibernation is now thought to be...
