hypothermia/infarction

OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the effect of selective intracoronary hypothermia on outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). BACKGROUND Intracoronary hypothermia, the feasibility and safety of which has

This article elaborates on cardioprotective action of hypothermia related long noncoding RNA against myocardial infarction through improving mitochondrial function, which preset by J Zhang. Herein, we provide the materials and methods used in that study. And provided the detail of dysregulation of

A rabbit model of focal temporary ischemia was used to test the protection provided by mild hypothermia, hypertension, mannitol and the combination of the three methods. Twenty-four New Zealand White rabbits were divided into five groups as follows: a control group, a hypertension group (mean

We investigated the effect of mild hypothermia (32-34 degrees C), mannitol and insulin - induced hypoglycaemia on the ischaemic infarct volume on permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion with bilateral carotid artery ligation in rats. Temporalis muscle temperature as an indicator of brain

OBJECTIVE Mild hypothermia is possibly the single most effective method of cerebroprotection developed to date. However, many questions regarding mild hypothermia remain to be addressed before its potential implementation in the treatment of human stroke. Here we report the results of 2 studies

Reperfusion therapies for stroke diminish in effectiveness and safety as time to treatment increases. Hypothermia neuroprotection for stroke is established, but its clinical translation has been hampered by uncertainties regarding optimal temperature and complications associated with moderate

The use of mild hypothermia to treat hemispheric infarction after evacuation of an acute subdural hematoma in an infant is reported. The patient, a 2-year-old boy, presented with a deteriorating level of consciousness after a fall from a tree. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an acute subdural

The cerebroprotective effects of hypothermia in focal models of ischemia are well established, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms of this form of brain protection. Cortical cooling in global transient ischemic models suggests that hypothermia limits glutamate excitotoxicity by

The majority of resuscitated patients present with underlying cardiac disease, and out of these myocardial infarction is most common. Immediate interventional treatment is recommended and routinely requires dual antiplatelet therapy including aspirin and a P2Y12-inhibitor. Therapeutic hypothermia or

Suppression of peri-infarct depolarizations (PIDs) is one of the major mechanisms of hypothermic protection against transient focal cerebral ischemia. Previous studies have shown the lack of hypothermic protection against permanent focal ischemia. We hypothesized the lack of hypothermic protection

BACKGROUND Mild hypothermia (32-35°C) during acute myocardial ischemia has been considered cardioprotective in animal studies. We sought to determine the association of between natural mild hypothermia and myocardial salvage as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in ST-elevation

BACKGROUND Although hypothermia reduces myocardial infarct size, noninvasive and rapid cooling methods are lacking. This study tests the effectiveness of a novel cooling apparatus on myocardial infarct size and no-reflow area in 2 models of coronary artery occlusion (CAO). RESULTS Animals were

The effect of hypothermia on neuronal injury following permanent middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in the rat was examined. Moderate hypothermia (body temperature 24 degrees C) was induced before MCA occlusion (0-minute delay group) in six rats, at 30 minutes in eight rats, and at 1 (seven

OBJECTIVE Mild systemic hypothermia has been shown to be feasible and safe in patients during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Regional myocardial hypothermia of the ischemic myocardium only may be more effective in myocardial salvage with fewer side effects compared with systemic hypothermia. The

We present the case of a 38-year-old man who was successfully treated with interventional hypothermia and primary percutaneous coronary intervention after cardiac arrest and prolonged resuscitation, following an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
