To test the hypothesis that cellular proteinases contribute to ischemic myocellular death, measurements were made of tyrosine release (an index of overall proteolysis) from incubated slices of nonischemic and ischemic myocardium obtained at various times after coronary artery occlusion in rats.
Scar tissue found at the site of myocardial infarction (MI) contains phenotypically transformed fibroblast-like cells termed myofibroblasts (myoFb). In injured cardiac tissue, autoradiography and immunolabeling have localized high density angiotensin (Ang) converting enzyme (ACE) and Ang II receptor
BACKGROUND
The cardiac troponins have been shown to be sensitive and specific biochemical markers of myocardial infarction and highly prognostic for future adverse events in patients with acute coronary syndromes. There have been reports suggesting that haemolysis causes a negative interference in
