Myocardial ischemic effects on cardiac electro-mechanical activity [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work, we investigated the effect of varying strength of Hyperkalemia and Hypoxia, in human cardiac tissue with a local ischemic subregion, on the electrical and mechanical activity of healthy and ischemic zones of the cardiac muscle. The Monodomain model in a deforming domain is taken with the addition of mechanical feedback and stretch ...

Guidelines for experimental models of myocardial ischemia and infarction
American Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2018 Myocardial infarction is a prevalent major cardiovascular event that arises from myocardial ischemia with or without reperfusion, and basic and translational research is needed to better understand its underlying mechanisms and consequences for cardiac ...

ACE-inhibition prevents postischemic coronary leukocyte adhesion and leukocyte-dependent reperfusion injury [PDF]
, 1997 Objective: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), retained in the microvascular bed, can contribute to postischemic myocardial reperfusion injury. Since a beneficial effect of ACE-inhibition on reperfusion injury has been reported, we investigated the ...
