Troponin Release and Reversible Left Ventricular Dysfunction After Transient Pressure Overload
The authors previously demonstrated that brief ischemia elicits cardiac troponin I (cTnI) release and myocyte apoptosis in the absence of necrosis. It remains uncertain whether other pathophysiological stresses can produce apoptosis and transient cTnI release without ischemia. This study sought to d...

Summary: | The authors previously demonstrated that brief ischemia elicits cardiac troponin I (cTnI) release and myocyte apoptosis in the absence of necrosis. It remains uncertain whether other pathophysiological stresses can produce apoptosis and transient cTnI release without ischemia.
This study sought to determine whether a transient increase in left ventricular (LV) preload elicits cTnI release in the absence of ischemia.
Propofol-anesthetized swine (N = 13) received intravenous phenylephrine (PE) (300 μg/min) for 1 h to increase left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) to ∼30 mm Hg. Serial cTnI and echocardiographic function were assessed for 24 h, and myocardial tissue was analyzed for apoptosis and necrosis.
PE infusion increased systolic blood pressure from 137 ± 14 mm Hg to 192 ± 11 mm Hg (mean ± SD; p |
