Q50, an Iron-Chelating and Zinc-Complexing Agent, Improves Cardiac Function in Rat Models of Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Myocardial Injury [PDF]
Background: Reperfusion of ischemic myocardium may contribute to substantial cardiac tissue damage, but the addition of iron chelators, zinc or zinc complexes has been shown to prevent heart from reperfusion injury.

Heart defibrillation: relationship between pacing threshold and defibrillation probability
Background Considering the clinical importance of the ventricular fibrillation and that the most used therapy to reverse it has a critical side effect on the cardiac tissue, it is desirable to optimize defibrillation parameters to increase its efficiency.

A KATP channel opener inhibited myocardial reperfusion action potential shortening and arrhythmias [PDF]
Low concentrations of certain K<sub>ATP</sub> channel openers have been reported to exert a moderate inhibitory effect on arrhythmias during post-ischaemic early myocardial reperfusion, but the accompanying effects on the time course of ...

Intravenous sodium nitrite in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a randomized controlled trial (NIAMI) [PDF]
AimDespite prompt revascularization of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), substantial myocardial injury may occur, in part a consequence of ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI). There has been considerable interest in therapies that may reduce IRI.

AMPK-regulated and Akt-dependent enhancement of glucose uptake is essential in ischemic preconditioning-alleviated reperfusion injury. [PDF]
AIMS: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a potent form of endogenous protection. However, IPC-induced cardioprotective effect is significantly blunted in insulin resistance-related diseases and the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Reperfusion Injury after Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the gold standard treatment for patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI ...

Protecting the ischemic heart : pharmacological protection against myocardial ischemia in rats in vivo and in vitro [PDF]
Today in Switzerland approximately 40% of all deaths are due to cardiovascular diseases. More than half of these are due to ischemic heart disease. Among the fatal consequences of ischemic heart disease are life-threatening arrhythmias and myocardial ...

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Contributes to Ischemia- and Reperfusion-Induced Endothelial Activation in Isolated Hearts [PDF]
During myocardial reperfusion, polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) adhesion involving the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) may lead to aggravation and prolongation of reperfusion injury.

ACE-inhibition prevents postischemic coronary leukocyte adhesion and leukocyte-dependent reperfusion injury [PDF]
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 ...
