Safety and feasibility of hyperkalemic cardioplegia with diazoxide in cardiac surgery: The Cardioplegia with Diazoxide in Cardiac Surgery TrialCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Background: We have demonstrated cardioprotection by the adenosine triphosphate–sensitive potassium (KATP) channel opener diazoxide in multiple animal models in an effort to reduce myocardial stunning following cardiac surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Intradialytic Cycling as Kidney Exercise Rehabilitation for Cardiac Stunning in Hemodialysis (TICKERS_HD): A Clinical Research Protocol [PDF]
Introduction: People with hemodialysis-dependent kidney failure experience significantly higher cardiovascular (CV) morbidity, mortality, symptom burden, and cognitive impairment compared to the general population.

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.

Effects of Rosuvastatin and Pitavastatin on Ischemia-Induced Myocardial Stunning in Dogs
Incomplete recovery of myocardial contraction after reperfusion following brief ischemia is called the “stunning phenomenon” in an animal experiment.

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).

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

Acute chlorine gas poisoning leads to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and, as a consequence, dysfunction of the cardiovascular system (CVS). We report a clinical case of toxic myocardial injury with gaseous chlorine.

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 During Gated Spect Indicates Presence of Severe Coronary Artery Disease. Biswas,G.** Shukkur, A.M.* Sayed, M.** Alsayed, Y.** and Masoud, M.** Department of Nuclear Medicine **and Cardiology*, Chest Hospital, Kuwait. [PDF]
Transient left ventricular dysfunction is known to occur in patients following stress in coronary artery disease [CAD]. Also known as myocardial stunning, it is a transient phenomenon occurring during myocardial ischemia after treadmill exercise or ...
