Optimising coronary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction: the role of primary angioplasty [PDF]
PhDThrombolysis remains the predominant reperfusion strategy for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the United Kingdom. Although primary angioplasty may offer superior outcomes, the logistics of delivering this therapy in the UK ...

Intravenous sphingosylphosphorylcholine protects ischemic and postischemic myocardial tissue in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury [PDF]
HDL, through sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), exerts direct cardioprotective effects on ischemic myocardium. It remains unclear whether other HDL-associated sphingophospholipids have similar effects.

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.

Transient limb ischemia induces remote ischemic preconditioning in vivo [PDF]
Background-Ischemic preconditioning reduces local tissue injury caused by subsequent ischemia-reperfusion (IR), but may also have a salutary effect on IR injury of tissues remote from those undergoing preconditioning.

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 ...

Introduction Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

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 ...

Release of TNF-α during myocardial reperfusion depends on oxidative stress and is prevented by mast cell stabilizers [PDF]
Objectives: Our study sought to elucidate the role of oxidative stress for shedding of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and for activating TNF-α-converting enzyme (TACE).
