Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), a pleotropic cytokine, is an inflammatory trigger in several cell systems. To determine if myocyte cell death is associated with TNFα release in vivo, we monitored the alterations in plasma TNFα levels in 22 patients with AMI (Killip class I-II), 20 patients with AMI (Killip...
Previously, we developed a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to measure the R 2* (the apparent transverse relaxation rate) of the myocardium and detected R 2* changes consistent with expected myocardial venous blood oxygen level changes induced by pharmacologic stress in human volunteers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct correlation between myocardial...
Low density lipoproteins (ox-LDL) are atherogenic and high levels of ox-LDL are associated with large infarcts following coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. Other studies show that cardiomyocytes undergo apoptosis upon ischemia-reperfusion, perhaps a result of free radical release. We have recently found that anoxia-reoxygenation results in about 20-30% apoptosis in cultured human coronary...
