1
Ischemia
Blood supply problem
2
Injury
cellular damage
3
Infarction (necrosis)
cell death
4
What will the EKG show with myocardial ischemia?
Depressed ST segment
Inverted T wave
5
What causes myocardial ischemia?
Not enough blood
atherosclerosis
vasospasm
thrombosis
embolism
6
What will the EKG show for myocardial infarction?
Pathologic Q waves; permanently
7
What is released with myocardial infarction?
Troponin
8
What will the EKG show for myocardial injury?
Elevated ST segment
9
Oxygen Free Radicals
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)
Altered O2 molecules created; at XC and reperfusion; reactions add unpaired electrons to outer orbit
10
5 reactions leading to O2 Radical Formation
1. NADPH + O2 = Superoxide O2-
2. Superoxide Dismutase O2- -> Hydrogen Peroxide H2 O2
3. Hydrogen peroxide + myeloperoxidase= hypochlorite HOCL
4. Hydrogen peroxide + Catalase = O2 + H20
5. Hydrogen peroxide + Fe++ = Hydroxyl Radical OH
11
How are reactive oxygen species created?
Xanthine oxidase releases in endothelial cells; catalyze: hypoxanthine to xanthine to uric acid
12
What enzyme is important in purine breakdown path?
Xanthine oxidase
13
Total depletion of O2; complete lack of O2
Anoxia
14
Lack of oxygen delivered to tissues
Hypoxia
15
Lack of blood supply
ischemia
16
Restoration of circulation
Reperfusion; can result in inflammation and oxidative damage through inducing oxidative stress rather than restoration of normal funcion
17
What abrupt biochemical and metabolic changes occur resulting in reperfusion injury?
Mitochondrial reenergization
Generative of reactive oxygen species
Intracellular calcium overload
Rapid restoration of physiologic pH
Inflammation
18
What does cell death result from? (related to reperfusion injury)
Opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore and induction of cardiac myocyte hyper-contraction
19
What protects the heart from free radicals?
Antioxidant system (electron donators)
20
What are the three antioxidant system components?
Superoxide dismutase
Catalase
Glutathione reductase
21
What is the 5' nucleotidase system?
Converts AMP to adenosine
22
When is full recovery impossible?
If adenosine nucleotide pool <50% full recovery
23
What are the mediators of lethal reperfusion injury?
Oxygen paradox
Calcium paradox
pH paradox
Inflammation
Myocardial edema
24
oxygen paradox
too much of a good thing: oxygen-derived free radical formation (reactive oxygen species ROS)
25
calcium paradox
large influx of calcium into the cell
26
pH paradox
pH moves from acidic to normal- potentiates many of hte changes
27
inflammation
neutrophil activation
28
What is depleted during ischemia?
Tissue stores of endogenous antioxidants
-Superoxide dismutase
-catalase
-glutathione
-glutathione peroxidase
29
What factors determine the amount of oxygen free radicals produced?
Severity of ischemic injury
actiavtion and recruitment of neutrophils to myocardium
Level of O2 in the cardioplegic solution
presence of endogenous scavengers and inhibitors
