Biventricular dynamics during quantitated anteroseptal infarction in the porcine heart

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

The porcine heart has been shown to have close anatomic similarity to the human heart and was used as the experimental model in this study to gain further understanding of the early responses of both ventricles during acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction. High fidelity pressure and flow data were measured and multiple preejection and ejection variables were calculated for both ventricles. Infarct weight and distribution in both ventricles were quantitated. The standard infarction resulted from single stage ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery just beyond its midpoint and second left ventricular branch. It comprised an average of 15.8 percent of total ventricular myocardium with an infarct/perfused ratio of 0.62 and a periinfarction transition zone of 7.5 mm, and involved significant portions of both ventricles and the interventricular septum. Performance characteristics of both ventricles were altered significantly by anteroseptal infarction and involved all phases of contraction--end-diastole, isovolumic systole and ventricular ejection. Although contractile alterations in the right ventricle were significant, they were somewhat delayed, yielding relatively low correlation coefficients with analogous le...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
