objective(s):biochemical markers are important for the timely diagnosis and follow-up of ischemic events. most of the markers have been previously studied in the context of cardiac ischemia. however, research on markers of non-cardiac events has been insufficient. therefore, we investigated the relationship between troponin and myoglobin which are commonly used markers of cardiac ischemia, in n...

Myocardial infarction animal studies are used to study disease mechanisms and new treatment options. Typically, myocardial infarction (MI) is induced by permanent occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. Since in MI patients coronary blood flow is often restored new experimental models better reflecting clinical practice are needed. Here, permanent ischemia MI (PI group) was compared w...

Objective(s): Experimental myocardial infarction triggers secretion of Stromal cell-derived factor1 and lead to increase in the expression of its receptor "CXCR4" on the surface of various cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression pattern of CXCR4 in peripheral blood cells following time-course permanent and temporary ischemia in rats. Materials and Methods: Fourteen male Wist...

objective: morphological changes of ca1 neurons in rat hippocampus after transient and permanent focal cerebral ischemia were studied to clarify the nature of postischemic cell death in the subfield. materials and methods: male adult rats were divided into 3 groups: control (shamoperated), transient ischemic group (30 minutes of mcao followed by 48 hours of reperfusion), and permanent ischemic ...

Abstract Introduction: Occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction are two main deleterious events that are caused by ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the heart. Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (OT) cardioprotective effect...

background: differences in the quantity and distribution of coronary veins between patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy might affect the potential for the left ventricular (lv) lead targeting in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt). in the current study, we assessed and compared the suitability of the coronary venous system for the lv lead placement in i...

background: various techniques are used in diagnosing cardiac diseases. the electrocardiogram is one of these tools in common use. in this study vectorcardiogram ) vcg ( signals are used as a tool for detection of cardiac ischemia. methods: vcg signals used in this study were obtained form 60 patients suspected to have ischemia disease and 10 normal candidates. verification of the ischemia had ...
