OBJECTIVE: Applying shock waves to the heart has been reported to stimulate the heart and alter cardiac function. We hypothesized that shock waves could be used to diagnose regional viability.METHOD: We used a Langendorff model to investigate the acute effects of shock waves at different energy leve

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is the key pathogenic factor of gram-positive bacteria and contributes significantly to organ dysfunction in sepsis, a frequent complication in critical care patients. We hypothesized that LTA directly affects cardiomyocyte function, thus contributing to cardiac failure in se

Milrinone and levosimendan administered after reperfusion improve myocardial stunning in swine

Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal 47(1), 50-57, 2013-02
… We assessed the effect of milrinone application timing after reperfusion against myocardial stunning as compared with levosimendan in swine. … Regional myocardial contractility was assessed by percent segment shortening (%SS). … Milrinone should be administered just after reperfusion to protect myocardial stunning through p38 MAPK, whereas levosimendan improvement of contractile function could be mainly dependent on its positive inotropic effect. …

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acid Mediates Isolated Heart Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Increasing NADPH Oxidase-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species Production

… Background: It has been reported that 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) aggravates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but the exact mechanism of action is still unclear. … Perfusion with HET0016, an inhibitor of 20-HETE production, significantly improved I/R-induced reduction in cardiac contractility, myocardial infarction, and myocardial apoptosis. …
