SummaryPreinfarction angina and early reperfusion of the infarct-related artery are major determinants of reduced infarct-size in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The beneficial effects of preinfarction angina on infarct size have been attributed to the development of collateral vessels and/or to post-ischemic myocardial protection. However, recently, a relation has been found between prodromal angina, faster coronary recanalization, and smaller infarcts in patients treated with rt-PA: those with preinfarction angina showed earlier reperfusion (p = 0.006) and a 50% reduction of CKMB-estimated infarct-size (p = 0.009) compared to patients without preinfarction angina. This intriguing observation is consistent with a subsequent observation of higher coronary recanalization rates following thrombolysis in patients with prodromal preinfarction angina compared to patients without antecedent angina. Recent findings in dogs show an enhanced spontaneous lysis of plateletrich coronary thrombi with ischemic preconditioning, which is prevented by adenosine blockade, suggesting an antithrom-botic effect of ischemic metabolites. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for earlier and enhanced coronary recanalization in patients with preinfarction angina may open the way to new reperfusion strategies.A vast number of studies, globally involving ≈17,000 patients with acute myocardial infarction, have unequivocally shown that an infarction preceded by angina evolves into a smaller area of necrosis compared to an infarct not preceded by angina (Table 1) (1). So far, preinfarction angina has been thought to have cardioprotective effects mainly through two mechanisms: collateral perfusion of the infarctzone (2-4), and ischemic preconditioning of the myocardium (5-7). Here we discuss a further mechanism of protection represented by improved reperfusion of the infarct-related artery.

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.

Abstract Characteristics of CK-MB, the MB1 and MB2 isoforms, and the MB2/MB1 ratio are described in six acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in whom the infarct-related artery was identified and, after intervention, normal coronary flow was re-established. After myocardial reperfusion, washout of CK-MB and the MB2 isoform occurred in parallel, with CK-MB peaking between 5.75 and 10.0 h, and MB2 peaking between 4.50 and 8.00 h. In five of the six patients, MB1 peaked between 8.75 and 15.5 h; the MB2/MB1 ratio demonstrated the earliest peak from 0.75 to 2.25 h. When we compared this study group to an additional 10 AMI patients who had achieved myocardial reperfusion earlier, we found a significant difference (P less than 0.005) for all tests, except MB1 isoform activity, as early as 50 min after reperfusion. This same comparison, by logistic-regression analysis, showed that the MB2/MB1 ratio discriminated between the groups 50 min after reperfusion (P less than 0.05); MB2 showed near-significance at 100 min (P less than 0.057); and CK-MB achieved significance after 200 min (P less than 0.05). CK-MB, the MB2 isoform, and especially the MB2/MB1 ratio show potential for the early, noninvasive detection of myocardial reperfusion.
