The Effects of Glyceryl Trinitrate and Isosorbide Dinitrate on Hand Vein Diameter and Left Ventricle Filling Pressure in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer EMMPRIN, is highly expressed in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and induces activation of several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including MMP-9 and MMP-13. To prevent Extracellular matrix degradation and cardiac cell death we targeted EMMPRIN with paramagnetic/fluorescent micellar nanoparticles with an EMMPRIN binding peptide AP9 conjugated (NAP9), or an AP9 scramble peptide as a negative control (NAPSC). NAP9 binds to endogenous EMMPRIN as detected by confocal microscopy of cardiac myocytes and macrophages incubated with NAP and NAPSC in vitro, and in vivo in mouse hearts subjected to left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion (IV injection 50mγ/Kg NAP9 or NAP9SC). Administration of NAP9 at the same time or 1 hour after AMI reduced infarct size over a 20% respect to untreated and NAPSC injected mice, recovered left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) similar to healthy controls, and reduced EMMPRIN downstream MMP9 expression. In magnetic resonance scans of mouse hearts 2 days after AMI and injected with NAP9, we detected a significant gadolinium enhancement in the left ventricle respect to non-injected mice and to mice injected with NAPSC. Late gadolinium enhancement assays exhibited NAP9-mediated left ventricle signal enhancement as early as 30 minutes after nanoprobe injection, in which a close correlation between the MRI signal enhancement and left ventricle infarct size was detected. Taken together, these results point EMMPRIN targeted nanoprobes as a new tool for the treatment of AMI.

Aim: To make natural development more exact to state the value of scientific prognostication of dia- stolic dysfunction with acute myocardial infarction without Q-wave after percutaneous intervention.materials and methods: 95 patients were subjected to coronography and revascularization of in- farct-related artery. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on angiographic results with single and multivessel affection. during first 48 hours from the beginning of the disease they were under ECHO examination.Results: Left ventricle affections dF data were revealed relatively to heaviness of affection in cor- onary vessels without reliable differences in local and global contractility. Primordialy the 1 group contained 14 (54%) patients of I grade dd, 5 (19%) with II grade, 1 (8%) with III grade, 6 (19%) without dd. A year later: 18 (70%) with I grade dd, 3 (12%) with II, patients with III grade were not redictered, 5 (18%) without dd. In group 2 within first 48 hours 37 (54%) patients had I grade,25 (36%) II grade, 7 (10%) III grade. In a year there were 46 (67%) with I grade, 13 (19%) II grade, 3 (4%) with III grade dd, 7 (10%) without dd.Conclusions: Obtained data indicate of a higher sensitivity dependently dF ischemia.In contrast to myocardial infarction group with coronary bloodstream fully restored within short terms, in group with multivessel affections a more heavy dd data preserved longer, in spite of infarct related artery revascularization. Also unfavourable events were revealed.
