SummaryAcute myocardial infarctions were produced by ligature of the left frontal descending coronary artery in 9 dogs. The possibility of scintigraphic imaging with 99mTc-DMSA 4 hrs after intravenous administration was studied. The infarctions were 4, 24 and 48 hrs old. The in vivo scan was positive in only one dog with a 4-hr old infarction. The in vivo scans were confirmed by the analysis of the radioactivity in tissue samples. The accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical increased slightly in 48-hr old lesions; however, this increase was not sufficient for a positive scintigraphic finding. Thus, we do not recommend 99mTc-DMSA for clinical use in acute lesions.

Цель исследования - разработка трансляционной модели хронической сердечной недостаточности (ХСН) у крыс, позволяющей, с одной стороны, изучить тонкие механизмы, лежащие в основе данной патологии, а с другой стороны, выявить новые биомишени для поиска и изучения механизма действия инновационных лекарственных средств. Методика. Использован комплекс эхокардиографических, морфологических, биохимических и молекулярно-биологических исследований, позволяющий оценивать и дифференцировать этапы формирования ХСН. Результаты. Динамические эхокардиографические исследования показали, что ХСН формируется через 90 дней после воспроизведения переднего трансмурального инфаркта миокарда. К этому времени у животных основной группы отмечается статистически значимое по сравнению со 2-ми сут. после воспроизведения экспериментального инфаркта миокарда снижение ФВ левого желудочка сердца (соответственно 55,9 ± 1,4 и 63,9 ± 1,6%, р = 0,0008). Снижение насосной функции сердца (на 13% по сравнению со 2-ми сут. после операции и на ~40% по сравнению с интактными животными) сопровождается увеличением КСР и КДР (соответственно с 2,49 ± 0,08 до 3,91 ± 0,17 мм, р = 0,0002, и с 3,56 ± 0,11 до 5,20 ± 0,19 мм, р = 0,0001), то есть к этому сроку развивается сердечная недостаточность. Результаты эхокардиографических исследований подтверждены данными морфометрии миокарда, продемонстрировавшими дилатацию правого и левого желудочков сердца. Параллельно проведенные гистологические исследования свидетельствуют о наличии патогномоничных для данной патологии изменений миокарда (постинфарктный кардиосклероз, компенсаторная гипертрофия кардиомиоцитов, очаги исчезновения поперечной исчерченности мышечных волокон и т.д.) и признаков венозного застоя в легких и печени. Биохимические исследования выявили значимое увеличение концентрации в плазме крови биохимического маркера ХСН - мозгового натрийуретического пептида. Данные молекулярно-биологических исследований позволяют говорить о наличии гиперактивности ренин-ангиотензин-альдостероновой и симпатоадреналовой систем, играющих ключевую роль в патогенезе ХСН. Заключение. Разработана трансляционная модель ХСН у крыс, воспроизводящая основные клинико-диагностические критерии этого заболевания. Показано наличие корреляции между морфометрическими, гистологическими, биохимическими и молекулярными маркерами прогрессирующей ХСН и эхокардиографическими диагностическими признаками, что позволяет использовать неинвазивный метод эхокардиографии, характеризующий состояние внутрисердечной гемодинамики, в качестве основного критерия оценки наличия/отсутствия данной патологии. Aim. Development of a translational model for chronic heart failure (CHF) in rats to identify new biotargets for finding and studying mechanisms of innovative drug effect in this disease. Methods. A set of echocardiographic, morphological, biochemical, and molecular methods was used to evaluate and differentiate stages of CHF development. Results. Dynamic echocardiographic studies showed that CHF developed in 90 days after anterior transmural myocardial infarction. By that time, left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly decreased in animals of the main group compared with rats studied on day 2 after experimental myocardial infarction (55.9 ± 1.4% vs . 63.9 ± 1.6%, respectively, p<0.0008). The decrease in heart’s pumping function (by 13% compared with day 2 after infarction and by approximately 40% compared to intact animals) was associated with increased ESD and EDD (from 2.49 ± 0.08 to 3.91 ± 0.17 mm, p = 0.0002, and from 3.56 ± 0.11 to 5.20 ± 0.19 mm, respectively, p = 0.0001); therefore, heart failure developed by that time. The results of echocardiographic studies were confirmed by myocardial morphometry, which demonstrated dilatation of both right and left ventricles. Paralleled histological studies indicated presence of the changes pathognomonic for this myocardial pathology (postinfarction cardiosclerosis, compensatory hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes, foci of disappeared transverse striation of muscle fibers, etc.) and signs of venous congestion in lungs and liver. Biochemical studies demonstrated a significant increase in plasma concentration of brain natriuretic peptide, a biochemical marker of CHF. Results of molecular studies suggested hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and sympathoadrenal systems, which play a key role in the pathogenesis of CHF. Conclusions. A translational model of CHF in rats was developed, which reproduced major clinical and diagnostic criteria for this disease. Morphometric, histological, biochemical, and molecular markers for progressive CHF were correlated with echocardiographic diagnostic signs, which allows using this echocardiographic, noninvasive method characterizing the intracardiac hemodynamics as a major criterion for the presence / absence of this pathology.

Abstract Background Timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is currently the treatment of choice for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Although cardiac units were established in all central hospitals in late 1990s for sparsely populated Finland, studies have shown that regional variation has increased. Additionally, the dense Finnish hospital network includes non-cardiac facilities where patients may be inappropriately admitted and then transferred for PCI. We aim to investigate the current regional differences in receiving timely PCI, determinants of these variations and the effect of hospital transfers. Methods Finnish Hospital Discharge Register data on PCIs for STEMI patients in 2015-17 were linked to register data on socio-demographics. In these preliminary analyses we used logistic regression modelling. Results Our results suggest that there were significant regional differences both for timely PCI in STEMI patients and in the probability of hospital transfers during an episode of care. The regional odds ratios (OR) for receiving PCI on time varied from 0.41 (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.52) to 2.73 (2.09-3.57) compared with the capital region when controlling for age, gender and hospital transfers. The ORs for being transferred during an episode of care varied from 0.26 (0.15-0.44) to 16.6 (11.6-23.6). Patients not transferred were more likely to receive PCI (OR 1.89 (1.67-2.15)). Men received PCI on time more often (OR 1.31 (1.18-1.46)) and women were more likely to be transferred (OR 1.29 (1.15-1.45)). Conclusions The probability for receiving PCI on time was related to the size of the hospital's population base and academic affiliation and inversely to transfers between hospitals. Hospital transfers during care episode and atypical symptoms often seen in women may cause critical delays for PCI. Other determinants for variation of timely PCI and its effects on equity will be analysed using multilevel modelling. Key messages Appropriate care for STEMI varies across regions and reflects inept practices in provider network. These findings are more pronounced in women showing persisting gender-related inequity.
