BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Anaesthetic preconditioning (APC) exerts cardioprotective effects by reducing infarct size and improving recovery of contractile function after ischaemia-reperfusion. The interval between brief exposure to volatile anaesthetic and sustained ischaemia, the acute memory phase, is dependent on intracellular signalling mediating this cardioprotection. Intramyocyte translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) is known to be a key mediator in APC. We examined the relationship between the time frame of the acute memory phase of sevoflurane preconditioning and intramyocyte translocation of PKC-alpha, delta and epsilon to the particulate fraction. METHODS: Isolated perfused guinea pig hearts were subjected to 30 min ischaemia …

Primary cardiac tumors are a rare entity compared to tumors that metastasize to the heart. Patients with such tumors may be asymptomatic. Many cases are found incidentally during evaluation of an unrelated medical condition. It is important for the clinician to have a high index of suspicion when evaluating a patient presenting with signs and systemic symptoms concerning possible malignancy, plus cardiac specific symptoms or complications. These can include new onset dyspnea, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or murmurs varying with body positions. Imaging, particularly the use of echocardiography, remains the cornerstone of diagnosis, and may be combined with new imaging …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of mortality as well as significant morbidity including bothersome symptoms, exacerbation of heart failure, and thromboembolic events. Explanations for the mortality risk are variable, but the majority opinion favors AF as a marker of reduced health status, especially cardiovascular health.

BACKGROUND: Infection is a potentially life-threatening complication of cardiac device implantation. Lead-associated endocarditis (LAE) may be the most serious complication since it is associated with a high mortality. METHODS: The medical records of patients referred to our institution for the treatment of LAE between 1999 and 2007 were reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 51 of 107 patients referred for device-related infections met the criteria for LAE. Of these, 19 occurred within 6 months of their most recent procedure (early), while the remaining 32 occurred more than 6 months later (mean = 31.9 months post procedure). Devices included pacemakers in 33 …

BACKGROUND: Volatile anesthetics and regular ethanol consumption induce cardioprotection mimicking ischemic preconditioning. We investigated whether sevoflurane enhances ethanol preconditioning and whether inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) and mitochondrial K(ATP) channels attenuated this enhanced cardioprotection. The effects of regular ethanol consumption on expression of inducible (iNOS) and endothelial (eNOS) nitric oxide synthase were determined. METHODS: Isolated perfused guinea pig hearts underwent 30-min global ischemia and 120-min reperfusion (Control: CTL). The ethanol group (EtOH) received 2.5% ethanol in their drinking water for 6 wk. Anesthetic preconditioning was elicited by 10-min exposure to sevoflurane (1 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration; 2%) in ethanol …

Heart failure is a growing epidemic with an estimated 5 million Americans suffering from this condition. Several clinical trials have demonstrated a high correlation between congestive heart failure (CHF) and cognitive impairment. The severity of cognitive impairment correlates positively with the degree of CHF. The underlying mechanism for cognitive impairment remains unclear but appears to be related to cerebral hypoperfusion and impaired cerebral reactivity with selective impairment of verbal memory and attention domains. Furthermore, cognitive dysfunction represents one aspect of frailty, a novel concept that encompasses a range of clinical conditions that results in functional impairment in patients with heart …
