Safety and feasibility of hyperkalemic cardioplegia with diazoxide in cardiac surgery: The Cardioplegia with Diazoxide in Cardiac Surgery TrialCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

open access: yesJTCVS Open
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.

Q50, an Iron-Chelating and Zinc-Complexing Agent, Improves Cardiac Function in Rat Models of Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Myocardial Injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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]

open access: yes, 2006
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).

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

Toxic Myocardial Injury in a Patient With Coronary Atherosclerosis, Caused by Acute Poisoning With Gaseous Chlorine

open access: yesНеотложная медицинская помощь, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 1995
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]

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2010
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 ...
