The concentration of iodine within infarcted and normal myocardium after intravenous administration of contrast material was determined by fluorescence excitation analysis in seven dogs at 48 hours after coronary arterial ligation. The iodine concentration of infarcted myocardial tissue was several times greater than normal myocardium after administration of meglumine/sodium diatrizoate, iodipamide, and an experimental polymer of iothalamic acid.

Contribution of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha to pathogenesis of sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Congenital Heart Defects and Pediatric Cardiology, German Heart Center Munich, TUM University Hospital, School of Medicine & Health, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by autosomal-dominant mutations in genes coding for structural sarcomeric proteins, is the most common inherited heart disease. HCM is associated with myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis and ventricular dysfunction. Hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1α (Hif-1α) is the central master regulators of cellular hypoxia response and associated with HCM.

Objectives: To investigate the mechanism through which N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) exacerbates hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in rat cardiomyocytes (H9C2 cells).

Methods: H9C2 cells were cultured in hypoxia and glucose deprivation for 8 h followed by reoxygenation for different durations to determine the optimal reoxygenation time. Under the optimal H/R protocol, the cells were treated with 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 mmol/L Neu5Ac during reoxygenation to explore the optimal drug concentration.

Background: High levels of catecholamines are cardiotoxic and associated with stress-induced cardiomyopathies. Septic patients are routinely exposed to endogenously released and exogenously administered catecholamines, which may alter cardiac function and perfusion causing ischemia. Early during human septic shock, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreases but normalizes in survivors over 7-10 days.

Background: The majority of functional ischemia tests in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) yield normal results. Implementing gatekeepers for patient preselection, such as pretest probability (PTP) and/or coronary artery calcium score (CACS), could reduce the number of normal scan results, radiation exposure and costs. However, the efficacy and safety of these approaches remain unclear.

As an important element of the human body, iron participates in numerous physiological and biochemical reactions. In the past decade, ferroptosis (a form of iron-dependent regulated cell death) has been reported to contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of various diseases. The stability of iron in cardiomyocytes is crucial for the maintenance of normal physiological cardiac activity.
