Mechanism of myocardial "stunning". [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 1990
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.

Stress Cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy)

open access: yesИнновационная медицина Кубани, 2023
In this article we describe a rare clinical condition of stress cardiomyopathy (takotsubo cardiomyopathy) for which we, despite controversy and lack of data, identified the main pathogenic pathways (including the direct toxic effect of catecholamines on ...

Myocardial stunning associated with a myocardial bridge [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology, 2002
A myocardial bridge is a discrete systolic constricnormal and tests for viral infections screened negation of a coronary artery, most commonly the left tive. She received oral aspirin (100 mg daily) and anterior descending, caused by some myocardial propranolol (20 mg t.i.d.) and remained asymptomattissue ‘bridging’ the vessel [1]. Regarded for long ic

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Assessment of Fluid Status in Dialysis: Clinical Importance and Diagnostic Tools [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Portuguesa de Nefrologia e Hipertensão, 2022
Fluid status is crucial for dialysis patients. Volume overload is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Nevertheless, volume depletion is associated with myocardial stunning and cerebral ischaemia.

Connexins and Nitric Oxide Inside and Outside Mitochondria: Significance for Cardiac Protection and Adaptation

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Irreversible myocardial damage happens in the presence of prolonged and severe ischemia. Several phenomena protect the heart against myocardial infarction and other adverse outcomes of ischemia and reperfusion (IR), namely: hibernation related to stunned

Cardiac oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines response after myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Oxidative stress in heart failure or during ischemia/reperfusion occurs as a result of the excessive generation or accumulation of free radicals or their oxidation products.

Preoperative and perioperative use of levosimendan in cardiac surgery: European expert opinion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In cardiac surgery, postoperative low cardiac output has been shown to correlate with increased rates of organ failure and mortality. Catecholamines have been the standard therapy for many years, although they carry substantial risk for adverse cardiac ...

An unexpected complication of a percutaneous coronary angioplasty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is characterized by transient ventricular dysfunction, classically in its apical and mid segments in the absence of coronary lesions, and is often observed after intense stressful events and occasionally associated to an ...
