Mechanisms of Myocardial Stunning in Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, in contrast to acute myocardial infarction, is a type of acute heart failure characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction.

Mechanism of myocardial "stunning". [PDF]
Among the numerous mechanisms proposed for myocardial stunning, three appear to be more plausible: 1) generation of oxygen radicals, 2) calcium overload, and 3) excitation-contraction uncoupling. First, the evidence for a pathogenetic role of oxygen-derived free radicals in myocardial stunning is overwhelming.

Myocardial stunning: A therapeutic conundrum [PDF]
Dobutamine and pyruvate are two inotropic agents with different mechanisms of action. Although both agents alter postischemic myocardial dysfunction, their potential metabolic effects in the setting of in vivo myocardial stunning have not been addressed.

Myocardial stunning after resuscitation from cardiac arrest following spinal anaesthesia [PDF]
Cardiac arrest associated with spinal anaesthesia has been well researched. Myocardial stunning after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest is seen in up to 2/3 rd of in-hospital cardiac arrests.

Stunning, Hibernation, and Assessment of Myocardial Viability [PDF]
The last 3 decades have witnessed an unprecedented improvement in the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndromes. The widespread use of thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous coronary interventions, in association with increasingly potent antithrombotic agents, has contributed to significant reductions in mortality and morbidity in these patients.

Myocardial stunning in hyperthyroidism [PDF]
AbstractThe cases of two patients with hyperthyroidism and acute left ventricular (LV) dysfunction with segmental wall motion abnormalities resulting in heart failure are reported. Both had electrocardiographic changes mimicking ischemic coronary artery disease.

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.

The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of computed tomography screening for coronary artery disease : systematic review [PDF]
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in the UK and other Western countries. The disease can be asymptomatic until the first event, which may be a fatal myocardial infarction (heart attack).
