Abstract

In the present study, the contribution of nitric oxide (NO), superoxide, and peroxynitrite to the inflammatory response induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) was investigated. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized, and the left main coronary artery was ligated for 20 min and reperfused for 5 h. MI/R induced severe arrhythmias, indicated by a significantly elevated arrhythmia score in the MI/R group compared with that in the sham control group. Creatine kinase activity in the left ventricular free wall of the MI/R group was significantly reduced by 38%. In contrast, myeloperoxidase activity in the left ventricular free wall of the MI/R group was increased by 140%. Similarly, superoxide and tissue NO levels in the ischemic region of the heurt were increased by 140 and 90%, respectively. Superoxide and NO values in the nonischemic regions were similar to the sham control group. Total NO synthase (NOS) activity was elevated by 212%; moreover, inducible NOS (iNOS) activity increased 6.7-fold in the ischemic vs. nonischemic regions. MI/R also induced both systemic and remote organ (lung) inflammatory responses. Circulating neutrophils and plasma NO levels were increased by 163 and 138%, respectively, in MI/R rats com...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
