ABSTRACT
AIM:
To evaluate the effects of atorvastatin on nitric oxide(NO),endothelin-1(ET-1)and myocardial no-reflow in a rabbit model of acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion(AMI/R).METHODS:
Twenty-four rabbits were randomized into 3 groups8 in AMI/R group,8 in atorvastatin-treated group(5 mg?kg-1?d-1)and 8 in sham-operated group. Animals in the former two groups were subjected to 60 min of coronary occlusion followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Data on haemodynamics were collected. NO in blood sample,and in normal,and in infarcted reflow and no-reflow myocardium were evaluated respectively by nitrate reductase method. The levels of ET-1 in blood sample,and in normal,infarcted reflow and no-reflow myocardium were determined by radioimmunoassay.RESULTS:
(1)Compared to the baselines,the heart rate(HR),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),maximal rate of increase and decline in left ventricular pressure(?dp/dtmax)and cardiac output(CO)in AMI/R and atorvastatin-treated groups were significantly declined,whereas left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP)was increased after 60 min of coronary occlusion and 120 min of reperfusion(P
