Platelet activation during myocardial ischaemia: a contributory arrhythmogenic mechanism

Pharmacology & Therapeutics
N A Flores

Abstract

Experimental and clinical observations of the involvement of platelets in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischaemia indicate the importance of interactions between these formed elements and the heart. The aim of this review is to outline evidence linking platelet activation, myocardial ischaemia and infarction, and to present evidence for a link between platelet activation, arrhythmogenesis and sudden death. A brief review of platelet physiology and pharmacology is provided, with a review of the cardiac electrophysiological effects of ischaemia and the electrophysiological effects of platelet-derived substances. The concept that platelet activation during myocardial ischaemia is a contributory arrhythmogenic mechanism is discussed.

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.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
