Effect of noninvasive ventilation on heart failure after acute myocardial infarction in rats and the underlying mechanisms / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of noninvasive ventilation on heart failure(HF)in rats after acute myocardial infarction(AMI)and the mechanisms involved.Methods A total of 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groupsthe noninvasive ventilation group,the non-treatment group and the sham operation group(n=10 in each group).The model for HF after AMI was established by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation.Serum levels of B-type natriuretic peptide-45 (BNP-45),70 000 heat-shock protein(HSP70),matrix metalloproteinases(MMP-2 and-9),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and echocardiography parameters,such as left atrium(LA)diameter,left ventricular(LV)end-diastolic diameter,interventricular septal(IVS)thickness,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),were measured at 3,5,7 and 14 days after operation in each group.Results Compared with the non-treatment group,LVEDD was reduced and LVEF was increased in the noninvasive ventilation group at 14 days after operation(155.92±14.74)mm/m2 vs.(149.35±11.29)mm/m2,(92.13±3.72)％ vs.(76.39±9.24)％,(P＜0.05),while LA diameter and IVS thickness showed no significant difference(P＞0.05).Compared with the non-treatment group,serum levels of BNP45,MMP-2,MMP-9,and TNF-α were decreased and HSP70 levels were increased in the noninvasive ventilation group at 3,5,7,and 14 days after operation (P ＜ 0.05).In the noninvasive ventilation group,serum levels of BNP45,MMP-2,MMP-9 and TNF-α at 5,7,and 14 days after operation were lower than those at 3 days after operation,and serum HSP70 levels at 7 and 14 days after operation were higher than those at 3 days after operation (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Noninvasive ventilation can effectively reduce the inflammatory response in rats with HF after AMI and reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.It is an effective treatment for HF after AMI.
