A síndrome de Takotsubo é uma cardiomiopatia induzida por
estresse, caracterizada por disfunção transitória do ventrículo
esquerdo. Essa disfunção pode ser confundida com infarto agudo
miocárdio na sala de emergência por ter características clínicas semelhantes – principalmente a dor tor...
A pericardite é um processo inflamatório do pericárdio de múltiplas
causas, sendo a infecção viral a mais comum. O infarto agudo
do miocárdio é um dos principais diagnósticos diferenciais.
O objetivo deste artigo foi relatar um caso de pericardite aguda
com supradesnivelamento de segmento ST. Os...
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the cardioprotective response of the pharmacological modulation of β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) in animal model of cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (CIR), in spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive (NWR) rats. Methods: CIR was induced by the occlusion...
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effect of alprostadil on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods: Rats were subjected to myocardial ischemia for 30 min followed by 24h reperfusion. Alprostadil (4 or 8 μg/kg) was intravenously administered at the time of reperfusion and myocar...
Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of baicalin on myocardial infarction in rats and explore the related mechanisms. Methods: Fifty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control, model, and low-, medium- and high-dose baicalin groups. The latter 3 gro...
Summary Objective: To investigate the changes in serum cardiac myosin light chain 1 (CMLC-1) levels in children with fulminant myocarditis (FM) during continuous blood purification (CBP), as well as to analyze its correlation with other laboratory indexes. Method: Twenty-four (24) children with FM who ...
Although frequently in humans, hypoxic and ischemic heart diseases are poorly documented in dogs, with only few reports of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in this species. Some electrocardiographic findings might suggest myocardium hypoxia/ischemia, like ST segment elevation or depression, but there ar...
