Low-power light and isolated rat hearts after ischemia of myocardium

Abstract: Total ischemia of myocardium has been simulated on isolated hearts of rats. Effects of a low-power HeNe laser (λ=632.8 nm) and a fiber optic photo-luminescent radiation source of red light ( λ of the spectral peak is equal to 630 nm) on isolated heart contractile function characteristics and on lipid peroxidation (LPO) level in myocardium tissues have been investigated. Two groups of the specimens have been irradiated with red light during the postischemia (reperfusion) period of time. The first group has been… Show more

“…Indeed, a recent study using red light found acceleration of myocardial contractility recovery and reduction in the amount of molecular products of lipid peroxidation after ischemia. 75 Future studies directed toward the understanding of the circadian rhythm in cardioprotection, therefore, bear the potential to uncover novel, powerful, and easy applicable treatment options to prevent or ameliorate the consequences of myocardial I/R injury in a perioperative setting or in the context of acute MI.…”

“…These effects can be provoked by not only ionizing radiation, but also experimental ischemia and reperfusion [12,13] of the myocardium and asphyxia [1]. Previous experiments [4,10] have demonstrated that consequences of oxidative stress can be fully or partly compensated by the exposure to low-intensity red light. Under these conditions, the contractive activity of isolated heart recovered.…”
