Roles of collateral arterial flow and ischemic preconditioning in protection of acutely ischemic myocardium.

Journal Article J Electrocardiol · 2014 The extent and rate at which necrosis develops in experimental acute myocardial infarction in the dog heart is presented together with an analysis of the role played by protective mechanisms in myocyte death. Preconditioning with ischemia delays but does n ... Full text Link to item Cite

Commentary on selected aspects of cardioprotection.

Conference J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther · 2011 Three aspects of cardioprotection are discussed in this article. The first is myocyte death as a function of the duration and severity of ischemia in experimental acute myocardial infarction in the dog heart. The short period of time during which reperfusi ...

Metabolism of preconditioned myocardium: effect of loss and reinstatement of cardioprotection.

Journal Article J Mol Cell Cardiol · September 2001 Ischemic preconditioning is associated with slower destruction of the adenine nucleotide pool and a slower rate of anaerobic glycolysis during subsequent ischemic stress. Whether this association is causal is uncertain. Using metabolite levels found at bas ... Full text Link to item Cite
