Effect of Cyclosporine on Reperfusion Injury in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: In our small, pilot trial, administration of cyclosporine at the time of reperfusion was associated with a smaller infarct by some measures than that seen with placebo. These data are preliminary and require confirmation in a larger clinical trial.

“…Further, patients with larger infarcts or those with an anterior MI are more likely to benefit from such an intervention. 5,6,27,32 Indeed, in our initial study, there was a trend toward a stronger effect of sevoflurane in patients with an anterior MI on assessing myocardial injury by release of cardiac enzymes. 20 In the current study, we did not observe an overall clinically meaningful effect of sevoflurane on the long-term assessment of LV function, myocardial scarring, or hibernating myocardium.…”

“…More importantly, cyclosporine A had also been reported to improve the heart function in human. Serum creatine kinase and infarct size were decreased in the cyclosporine A‐treated patients with acute myocardial infarction 79. Ca 2+ overload was the trigger of both MPTP opening and heart failure.…”
