Objective: To investigate the presence of apoptosis after the global myocardial ischemia of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the regional myocardial ischemia after left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and relate it to the severity of postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction.
Design: Prospective animal study.
Setting: University-affiliated animal research laboratory.
Subjects: Male Sprague-Dawley rats.
Interventions: Fifteen male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 450-550 g were randomized to: (1) 8 mins of untreated cardiac arrest followed by 6 mins of cardiopulmonary resuscitation; (2)left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion for 45 mins followed by 4 hrs of reperfusion; and (3) left anterior descending coronary artery sham group. Cardiac functions, including ejection fraction, analog differentiation of left ventricular pressure at 40 mm Hg, and rate of maximal left ventricular pressure decline were continuously measured for 4 hrs. The hearts were then harvested for the terminal transferase-mediated 2'-deoxyuridine, 5'-triphosphate nick end-labeling assay analysis.
Measurements And Main Results: Myocardial function was significantly impaired after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and reperfusion from left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion(p < .01). There was no difference in the percentage of apoptotic cells between the cardiopulmonary resuscitation animals and sham-operated animals. Fewer apoptotic cells were observed in cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation animals in comparison to left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion animals (p < .05), even though myocardial function was more severely impaired after resuscitation (p < .01).
Conclusions: Myocardial function was significantly impaired after cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation and ischemia/reperfusion. However, apoptosis was not involved in the mechanism of postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction in this setting.

Background: This study aims to identify optimal acceleration factors (AFs) for compressed sensing (CS) technology to enhance its clinical application for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in whole-heart non-contrast coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA).
Methods: Two hundred and seventeen individuals with suspected CAD underwent whole-heart non-contrast CMRA on a 1.5-T CMR scanner with CS AFs of 2, 4, and 6 (CS2, CS4, and CS6).

Background: Dichloroacetate (DCA) has shown potential in modulating cellular metabolism and inflammation, particularly in cardiac conditions. This study investigates DCA's protective effects in a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on its ability to enhance cardiac function, reduce inflammation, and shift macrophage polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.
Methods: An acute MI model was created using left anterior descending coronary artery ligation.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1 (eIF4A1) is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that participates in a variety of biological and pathological processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis, and cancer. In this study we investigated the role of eIF4A1 in ischemic heart disease. The myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model was established in mice by ligation of the left anterior descending artery for 45 min with the subsequent reperfusion for 24 h; cultured neonatal mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes (NMVCs) treated with HO (200 μM) or H/R (12 h hypoxia and 12 h reoxygenation) were used for in vitro study.

Objective: To explore the influence of abietic acid on the autophagy and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: A rat model of AMI was built by ligation of the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery, and a model of hypoxic cardiomyocyte injury was constructed by treating cardiomyocytes with hypoxia. Western blot assay was used to detect the abundance of proteins related to autophagy and apoptosis, MTT assay was used to measure the viability of cardiomyocytes, and the expression level of miR-30a-5p was detected by qRT-PCR.
