Abstract OBJECTIVES Esmolol-based cardioplegic arrest offers better cardioprotection than crystalloid cardioplegia but has been compared experimentally with blood cardioplegia only once. We investigated the influence of esmolol crystalloid cardioplegia (ECCP), esmolol blood cardioplegia (EBCP) and Calafiore blood cardioplegia (Cala) on cardiac function, metabolism and infarct size in non-infarcted and infarcted isolated rat hearts. METHODS Two studies were performed: (i) the hearts were subjected to a 90-min cardioplegic arrest with ECCP, EBCP or Cala and (ii) a regional myocardial infarction was created 30 min before a 90-min cardioplegic arrest. Left ventricular peak developed pressure (LVpdP), velocity of contractility (dLVP/dtmax), velocity of relaxation over time (dLVP/dtmin), heart rate and coronary flow were recorded. In addition, the metabolic parameters were analysed. The infarct size was determined by planimetry, and the myocardial damage was determined by electron microscopy. RESULTS In non-infarcted hearts, cardiac function was better preserved with ECCP than with EBCP or Cala relative to baseline values (LVpdP: 100 ± 28% vs 86 ± 11% vs 57 ± 7%; P = 0.002). Infarcted hearts showed similar haemodynamic recovery for ECCP, EBCP and Cala (LVpdP: 85 ± 46% vs 89 ± 55% vs 56 ± 26%; P = 0.30). The lactate production with EBCP was lower than with ECCP (0.6 ± 0.7 vs 1.4 ± 0.5 μmol/min; P = 0.017). The myocardial infarct size and (ECCP vs EBCP vs Cala: 16 ± 7% vs 15 ± 9% vs 24 ± 13%; P = 0.21) the ultrastructural preservation was similar in all groups. CONCLUSIONS In non-infarcted rat hearts, esmolol-based cardioplegia, particularly ECCP, offers better myocardial protection than Calafiore. After an acute myocardial infarction, cardioprotection with esmolol-based cardioplegia is similar to that with Calafiore.

It has been reported that granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) improves cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI). However, its direct effect on the myocardium and its signaling pathway remain unclear. We examined the acute beneficial effect of G-CSF on myocardial infarct size and its precise mechanisms in a rabbit model of myocardial infarction. In 80 Japanese white rabbits, MI was induced by 30 min of ischemia and 48 hours of reperfusion. Rabbits were intravenously injected with 10 μg/kg of G-CSF (G-CSF group, n=10) or saline (control group, n=10) immediately after reperfusion. The G-CSF+5HD group (n=10) was injected with 5-HD(5-hydroxydecanoate, a mitochondrial KATP channel blocker) 5 min before G-CSF injection. The G-CSF +wortmaninn group (n=10) was injected wortmaninn (0.6mg/kg) 5 min before G-CSF injection. G-CSF+L-NAME group (n=10) was injected with L-NAME (10mg/kg) 5 min before G-CSF injection. The 5HD alone (n=10), wortmannin alone (n=10), L-NAME alone (n=10) groups were respectively injected 5HD, wortmannin and L-NAME immediately after reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size was calculated as a percentage of the risk area of the left ventricle. Western blot analysis was performed to examine the Akt and phospho-Akt and phospho-eNOS in the ischemic myocardium at 48 hours of reperfusion. The infarct size was significantly smaller in the G-CSF group (26.7±2.7%) than in the control group (42.3±4.6%). The infarct size-reducing effect of G-CSF was completely blocked by 5-HD (42.5±1.66%), wortmaninn(44.7±4.81) and L-NAME (42.1±4.2%). Wortmannin, L-NAME or 5HD alone did not affect the infarct size. Western blotting showed higher expression of phospho-Akt and phosho-eNOS in the infarct area in the G-CSF group than in the control group. G-CSF administered immediately after reperfusion reduces myocardial infarct size via activation of PI3K, Akt, eNOS and opening the mitochondrial KATP channels.

Background: Circulating ketone bodies (KB) are increased in patients with heart failure, corresponding with increased utilization of KB as a cardiac fuel. Whether circulating KB are increased in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and whether this is associated with infarct size is unknown. Methods: KB were measured in 379 non-diabetic participants of the Glycometabolic Intervention as Adjunct to Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (GIPS) III trial (Clinicaltrial.gov Identifier: NCT01217307). Non-fasting plasma concentrations of the KB beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, acetone were measured at presentation, 24 hours and 4 months after STEMI presentation using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Associations of circulating KB with myocardial infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction (both detected with MRI at 4 months after STEMI) were determined using multivariable linear regression analyses. Results: Circulating KB were higher at baseline (total KB 520 [315-997](median [IQR], μmol/L), compared to 206 [174-246] at 24 hours and 166 [143-201] at 4 months ( P <0.001 for all)). KB at 24 hours were positively associated with enzymatic infarct size, HbA1C and beta-blocker use. KB at 24 hours were independently associated with MRI outcomes at 4 months. Higher KB was associated with larger myocardial infarct size (total KB: standardized β=0.17, 95%-confidence interval (CI) (0.04-0.31), P =0.012) and lower ejection fraction (standardized β=-0.15, 95%-CI (-0.29- -0.009), P =0.037). Conclusion: Circulating KB are increased in patients with STEMI and are independently associated with myocardial infarct size and left ventricular function after 4 months of follow-up. The increase in circulating KB may reflect maladaptive changes of myocardial metabolism during the acute phase.

The influence of streptokinase (SK) on myocardial infarct size and left ventricular function after acute myocardial infarction was investigated. 21 patients with myocardial infarction received SK (SK-group), 27 patients underwent conventional therapy (C-group). In both groups therapy started within 8 hours after onset of chest pain. In the SK-group initially 250 000 IU were administered intravenously, followed by a maintenance dose of 100 000 IU/h, lasting 15 hours. Blood samples at 8 hours intervals were collected for 3 days for serial CPK-analysis to calculate infarct size (I=∫f(t)×dt×K×bw). M-mode echocardiography was taken before start of t her a py and after 15, 24, 48 and 72 hours. AOP and heart rate were recorded continuously. Infarct size was 47±12g in the SK-group and 84±25g in the C-group (p<0.05). The average time to peak blood CPK-activity was 24 hours in the SK-group and 40 hours in the C-group. Peak CPK-level was significantly higher (p<0.5) in the SK-group (841±160U/l) than in the C-group (532±13 8 U / l ) . In 16 patients of the SK-group short periods of ventricular tachycardia were recorded during the period of fibrinolysis. Before therapy all patients showed abnormal motion of the posterior left ventricular wall and/or the interventricular septum, detected by echocardiography. 14 patients showed after fibrinolysis an improved or normalized motion.The results indicate that early fibrinolysis may reopen the occluded coronary artery. Reperfusion of the ischemic perfusion area may salvage jeo pardized myocardium, therefore infarct size was reduced and ventricular function improved.
