Abstract
Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of consecutive treatment with isoprenaline/adenosine (ISO/ADE) in a pig model of myocardial infarction and cardiac surgery.
Methods: The final ISO/ADE dose was selected from a pilot study (n = 8). In the subsequent randomized trial, 16 pigs underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging 4 weeks after a myocardial infarction, then were randomized to either the ISO/ADE (n = 8) or the control (n = 8) group before undergoing cardiac surgery with 1 h recovery. Feasibility and safety end points included the method of ISO/ADE delivery, serial blood pressure, heart rate, pH, HCO3-, circulating lactate levels, troponin levels and arrhythmias. Biomarkers of efficacy included serial lactate levels and serial pO2 mean arterial-to-venous functional ratio along with histologic levels of glycogen, protein carbonyls, O2, CO2, HCO3- and fibrosis. Postoperative rates of low cardiac output and death were also recorded.
Results: Cardiac magnetic resonance measures of myocardial infarction did not differ between the groups. The selected method of ISO/ADE delivery was feasible. At no time were all safety outcomes measured in the ISO/ADE group worse than those in the control group. ISO/ADE reduced circulating lactate levels, preserved the serial pO2 mean arterial-to-venous functional ratio and reduced tissue-based glycogen and protein carbonylation. No other differences were observed. Low cardiac output and death occurred in 3/8 (37.5%) and 2/8 (25%) control animals versus 0% in the ISO/ADE group.
Conclusions: The therapy was feasible and safe and improved biomarkers of efficacy. ISO/ADE was not associated with any postoperative low cardiac output and deaths versus 37.5% and 25%, respectively, in the control group. A pilot human study is warranted.
期刊介绍:
The primary aim of the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery is to provide a medium for the publication of high-quality original scientific reports documenting progress in cardiac and thoracic surgery. The journal publishes reports of significant clinical and experimental advances related to surgery of the heart, the great vessels and the chest. The European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery is an international journal and accepts submissions from all regions. The journal is supported by a number of leading European societies.
