Description for Adenosine, Cardioprotection and its Clinical Application
Hardback. The immense growth in the number of articles on adenosine cardioprotection has been related in large part to the hypothesis that adenosine plays a role in ischemic preconditioning. This title discusses different aspects of adenosine cardioprotection and ischemic preconditioning, including potential mechanisms and clinical applications. Editor(s): Mentzer Jr., Robert M.; Kitakaze, Masafumi; Downey, James M.; Hori, Masatsugu. Series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine. Num Pages: 239 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 1200.
It has been almost 15 years since the fIrst reports appeared indicating that adenosine exerted a .protective effect in ischemic and reperfused myocardium. Numerous experimental studies have shown that adenosine (both exogenous and endogenous adenosine) delays the onset of ischemic contracture, modulates myocardial metabolism during ischemia, attenuates reversible postischemic ventricular dysfunction (myocardial stunning), and reduces myocardial infarct size. Initial studies on adenosine's cardioprotective effect were based on its ability to stimulate postischemic ATP resynthesis, increase coronary blood flow, and reduce heart rate. Although these actions of adenosine are undoubtedly benefIcial to the ischemic/reperfused heart, it now appears that adenosine's cardioprotective ... Read more
