Background Art Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vesels.
An ted 16.7 million — or 29.2% of total global deaths - result from the various forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Myocardial infarction (heart attack) is a serious result of coronary artery disease.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the irreversible necrosis of heart muscle secondary to prolonged ischemia. A heart attack or myocardial infarction is a medical emergency in which the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly and severely reduced or cut off, causing the muscle to die from lack of . More than 1.1 million people experience a heart attack (myocardial infarction) each year, and for many of them, the heart attack is their first symptom of coronary artery disease. A heart attack may be severe enough to cause death or it may be silent. As many as one out of every five people have only mild symptoms or none at all, and the heart attack may only be discovered by routine electrocardiography done some time later.
A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is usually caused by a blood clot that blocks an artery ofthe heart. The artery has often already been narrowed by fatty ts on its walls. These deposits can tear or break open, reducing the flow of blood and releasing substances that make the platelets ofthe blood sticky and more likely to form clots. Sometimes a clot forms inside the heart itself, then breaks away and gets stuck in an artery that feeds the heart. A spasm in one of these es causes the blood flow to stop. y—Butyrobetaine, from which the mammalian organism synthesises carnitine, was primarily characterised as a toxic substance which accelerates respiration, causes salivation and lacrimation, pupil on, vasoconstriction and heart stop in diastole LINNEWEH, W.

Rats were adapted to local conditions for two weeks before the start of treatment.

Isolated rat heart infarction study The isolated rat heart experiment was performed essentially as described earlier (Liepinsh et al., J. vasc. Pharmacol. 2006; 48(6):314-9). Twenty-four hours after the last drug stration hearts were excised and retrogradely perfused via W0 2012/146736 10 the aorta at a constant pressure with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer at 37°C.
The heart rate, left ventricle end-diastolic pressure and left ventricle ped pressure were uously recorded. Coronary flow was measured using an ultrasound flow detector (HSE) and the PowerLab 8 /30 system from ruments. The hearts were perfused for 20 min to stabilize the hemodynamic functions and then ion was performed for 60 min by constricting threads through a plastic tube. Successful occlusion was confirmed by a coronary flow decrease of about 40 percent. Reperfusion was achieved by releasing the threads.
At the end of the 150-min reperfusion period, the risk zone was delineated with 0.1% methylene blue. The hearts were then sectioned transversely from the apex to the base in five slices 2 mm in thickness and incubated in 1% nyltetrazolium chloride in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, 37°C) for 10 min to stain viable tissue red and necrotic tissue white. Computerized planemetric analysis of Sony A900 photographs was performed using Image—Pro Plus 6.3 software to ine the area at risk and area of is expressed as a % of the left ventricle. The obtained values were then used to calculate the infarct size (IS) as a % of risk area according to the formula: Infarct Size = Area of Necrosis/Area at Risk x 100%.
Effects in isolated rat heart infarction model The anti-infarction effect of examined substances was investigated in an isolated rat heart infarction model. During occlusion of left coronary artery, the coronary flow in all experimental groups was decreased for 40% (from 11 ml/min to 7 ml/min). er, the drop of developed left ventricular pressure for 50% was observed.
The heart rate during the occlusion period did not change significantly. In reperfusion stage, coronary flow, ped left ventricular pressure, idp/dt values were recovered till about 80% of l level. There were no significant differences n control and treatment groups.
