Markers of oxidative stress in acute myocardial infarction treated by percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In the current study, we evaluated the dynamics of oxidative stress markers in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Thirty consecutive patients with AMI with ST elevation were included. Plasma lipid peroxidation end product malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in blood plasma were evaluated. Peripheral venous blood samples were obtained prior to reperfusion and at five time points after reperfusion. The control group consisted of 20 ischemic patients without acute coronary syndrome. TAC in the AMI group at admission was lower than in control patients (1.26 + 0.32 vs. 1.52 + 0.24 mmol/l). Within 1 h after reperfusion, in most cases, values significantly declined (1 min, 1.10 + 0.33 mmol/l; 1 h, 1.06 + 0.21 mmol/l [p= 0.03]). After 3 h, values began to increase (1.14 + 0.29 mmol/l) and returned to basal values after 3 d (1.29 + 0.24 mmol/l). MDA levels in AMI patients at admission were higher than in control patients (1.66 + 0.55 vs. 1.44 + 0.55 mmol/l) but showed a sustained decrease over the 3 h after reperfusion of the occluded artery (1 min, 1.57 + 0.37 mmol/l; 1 h, 1.50 + 0.35 μmol/l; 3 h, 1.35 + 0.59 μmol/l [p = 0.03]). Reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery by PCI in AMI lead to an immediate decrease in TAC, suggesting formation of reactive oxygen species. However, the MDA level significantly decreased after reperfusion. This may suggests less reperfusion injury after PCI.</jats:p>

The potential benefits of a garlic and hydrochlorothiazide combination as antihypertensive and cardioprotective in rats

“…The common risk factors, and how the factors induced by hypertension are linked to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarctions, are the two important relationships between hypertension and myocardial infarction [19,20]. A diet high in fructose can also give rise to hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and hypertension.…”

“…In each group consisting of eight animals, four excised hearts were homogenized to prepare heart tissue homogenate (HTH) using sucrose (0.25 M) [15]. The activities of LDH, CK-MB, superoxide dismutase (SOD) [16], catalase [17] and thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) [18,19] were measured in HTH. Microscopic slides of myocardium were prepared for histopathological studies from the hearts of the remaining four animals.…”

“…Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) [21,22] was measured as a marker of lipid peroxidation and endogenous antioxidants, e.g., superoxide dismutase (SOD) (23) and catalase (24), were also estimated.…”
