Cardiac arrest (CA) causes high mortality due to multi-system organ damage attributable to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Recent work in our group found that among diabetic patients who experienced cardiac arrest, those taking metformin had less evidence ...

Myocardial stunning in the neonate
the normally oxygenated heart. 9 Myocardial stunning is caused by myocyte dysfunction. Generation of free radicals, resulting in damage to cellular proteins and phospholipids, and disruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis, are the two, non-mutually exclusive mechanismsesponsible forhisost- injury dysfunction.

Takotsubo Syndrome: A Review of Presentation, Diagnosis and Management
Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) is a condition of transient left ventricular dysfunction that is typically triggered by emotional or physical stress. Since first described in Japan in 1990, it has increasingly been recognised in clinical practice, accounting ...

Myocardial ischemic preconditioning (IPC) enhances myocardial resilience to ischemic injury. Myocardial stunning is a transient, reversible dysfunction, while necrosis involves irreversible cell death. The relationship between IPC, stunning, and necrosis

Effects of postconditioning with N,N,N'N'-tetrakis-[2-pyridylmethyl]-ethylenediamine in isolated rat hearts [PDF]
BackgroundIt was reported that N,N,N'N'-tetrakis-[2-pyridylmethyl]-ethylenediamine (TPEN), a transition metal chelator, confers cardioprotection against myocardial ischemic injury.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after microwave ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a form of stress cardiomyopathy that can clinically mimic an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It involves transient anomalies in left ventricular wall motion secondary to myocardial stunning.

Endothelial Dysfunction and Vascular Preconditioning
The prolonged occlusion of a coronary artery followed by reperfusion causes deleterious effects known as “ischemiareperfusion injuries”. In fact, these injuries,which affect both myocardium and coronary endothelium, initiate during ischemia and worsen ...
