Polarization and myocardial protection
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1999Heart surgery or transplantation generally involve global ischemia, and techniques have been developed to protect the myocardium from ischemic and reperfusion injury. Hyperkalemic cardioplegia has been the gold standard for myocardial protection for years, but patients undergoing surgery almost invariably have some postoperative dysfunction. One factor

Pediatric myocardial protection
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2008Myocardial protection has contributed greatly to significant advances in pediatric cardiac surgery. New refinements in perfusion techniques and cardioplegia are under evaluation. Genetic factors are also promising tools to assess and improve myocardial protection.There is increasing doubt about the efficiency of hypothermia in preventing postoperative ...

Advances in Myocardial Protection
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 1998The success of cardiac surgery is due in large part to the myocardial protection techniques employed to maintain cardiac viability during the period of induced ischemic arrest. As the number of older, high-risk cardiac surgical patients increases, advances in myocardial protection have become necessary to achieve a quiet, bloodless operative field ...

The future: therapy of myocardial protection
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2012The main determinant of myocardial necrosis following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is duration of ischemia. Infarct size is a strong independent predictor of postinfarction mortality. Interventions able to protect the myocardium from death during an AMI (cardioprotection) are urgently needed.

Nifedipine: A myocardial protective agent
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1979The effectiveness of the calcium antagonist nifedipine in preserving postischemic myocardial function and structural integrity was experimentally demonstrated in isolated rabbit hearts, in conscious dogs subjected to myocardial infarction, in open chest anesthetized dogs with normothermic regional ischemia induced for 1 to 2 hours and in dogs ...

Endothelial function in myocardial protection
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1996Impairment of coronary flow, or low coronary reflow, is an important feature of ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is known to be associated with a significant diminution of basal and stimulated release of nitric oxide. The degree of recovery of low coronary reflow and of basal and stimulated release of nitric oxide diminishes with age and is influenced ...

Myocardial protection during revascularization for myocardial ischemia
World Journal of Surgery, 1978AbstractOperations that reestablish flow to proximally obstructed coronary arteries are being applied with greater frequency and greater success. The long‐term effects of such operations will ultimately be measured by increased longevity for patients with coronary artery disease, providing that perioperative injury is held to an absolute minimum and ...

Adenosine for Myocardial Protection in Acute Myocardial Infarction
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1997Although reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction is known to reduce infarct size, improve left ventricular function, and reduce mortality, the full potential benefit may be limited by acceleration of damage resulting from reperfusion, or "reperfusion injury." Evidence of a variety of mechanisms of reperfusion injury has led to a wide range ...

Myocardial protection for cardiac surgery
1996The vast majority of cardiac surgical procedures are carried out using aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegie arrest [1]. Although alternate approaches such as operating on the normothermic empty beating heart, intermittent aortic cross-clamping or hypothermic ventricular fibrillation can be successfully utilized, the ability to carry out a meticulous ...
