    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on myocardial no-reflow in a mini-swine model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and reperfusion. METHODS: Twenty-four mini-swines were randomized into 3 study groups: 8 in control, 8 in IPC and 8 in sham-operated. Animals in the former two groups were subjected to 3 hours of coronary occlusion followed by 1 hour of reperfusion. Data on hemodynamics and coronary blood flow volume (CBV) were collected, and the area of no-reflow (ANR) was evaluated with both myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) in vivo and pathological means. Necrosis area (NA) was measured with triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. RESULTS: In control group, left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), the maximum change rate of left ventricular pressure rise and fall (+/-dp/dtmax) and cardiac output (CO) significantly declined (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), while left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) significantly increased at the end of 3 hours of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion (both P < 0.01), with +/-dp/dtmax further significantly declined (both P <0.05) at 1 hour of reperfusion. In IPC group, LVSP, +/-dp/dtmax, CO and LVEDP significantly recovered at 1 hour of reperfusion, compared with those in control group. In IPC group, the coronary ligation area was similar on both MCE in vivo and pathological evaluation (P > 0.05), and ANR was both also similarly as high as (16.4 +/- 2.24) % and (17.5 +/- 2.87) %, respectively, with final necrosis area (NA) reaching (78.4 +/- 3.62) %. In IPC group, ANR and final NA were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In the control group, coronary blood flow volumn immediately after release of 3 hours occlusion and at 1 hour of reperfusion were significantly lower than the baseline (both P < 0.01). In IPC group, coronary blood flow volumn were significantly higher than those in the control group (both P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: IPC is effective to prevent myocardial no-reflow, improve left ventricular function and decrease infarct area.
