Myocardial postconditioning: reperfusion injury revisited
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2005coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the Western world and represents one of the major burdens on healthcare systems today. Targeting those strategies that limit the damage sustained as a result of a lethal ischemic insult has been a major goal for many years.

Bucillamine Prevents Myocardial Reperfusion Injury
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2001Injury during reperfusion can partially offset the benefit of relief of ischemia in myocardial infarctions rapidly treated with thrombolytic drugs or angioplasty. We assessed whether bucillamine (N-[2-mercapto-2-methylpropionyl]-L-cysteine) is potentially useful to treat myocardial reperfusion injury.

Myocardial injury due to lightning
International Journal of Legal Medicine, 1997The report deals with a 27-year-old male who was standing in a tent and was injured by lightning as it struck a tree about 1.5 m away. He immediately lost consciousness and exhibited ventricular fibrillation when the emergency physician arrived. A clinical picture of hypoxaemic brain damage emerged after initially successful resuscitation.

1999
Abstract Early in the history of cardiac surgery, it was recognized that some patients who underwent technically successful operations suffered from a syndrome of low cardiac output in the early postoperative period. It was also apparent that the perioperative mortality was increased in these patients. Autopsy and clinical studies in the

Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2014Recent investigations have substantially improved our understanding of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS).MINS is defined as a prognostically relevant myocardial injury due to ischemia that occurs during or within 30 days after noncardiac surgery.

Biochemical Markers in Myocardial Injury
AORN Journal, 1999ABSTRACTBiochemical markers are substances that are detected in body fluids or tissues that may signify a disease or other abnormality. Biochemical markers have been used to help in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction since the 1950s. The major problem with these markers is that they lack specificity for cardiac muscle as they are also ...

Lysosomes and myocardial cellular injury
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1972Abstract The stability of myocardial lysosomes in left posterior papillary muscle sites of predictable injury was investigated after 1, 2 and 4 hours of acute partial ligation of the left circumflex coronary artery of the dog heart. Lysosome stability in the papillary muscle locus of injury was significantly reduced within 1 hour and continued to ...

Quantification of Myocardial Ischemic Injury
2015Quantitative assessment of infarct size is becoming increasingly important, particularly since this parameter appears to be a major determinant of prognosis. Morphologic, radioisotopic and electrophysiological techniques for assessing the extent of irreversible ischemic injury entail certain unavoidable limitations.

Periprocedural myocardial infarction and injury
European Heart Journal: Acute Cardiovascular CareAbstractPeriprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) and injury, pertinent to both cardiac and non-cardiac procedures, have gained increasing recognition in clinical practice. Over time, diverse definitions for diagnosing PMI have been developed and validated among patient populations undergoing coronary revascularization.
