Abstract:Acute heart failure (AHF) due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is likely to involve cardiogenic shock (CS), with neuro-hormonal activation. A relationship between AHF, CS and vasopressin response is suspected. This study aimed to investigate the implication of vasopressin on hemodynamic parameters and tissue perfusion at the early phase of CS complicating AMI. Experiments were performed on male Wistar rats submitted or not to left coronary artery ligation (AMI and Sham). Six groups were studied Sham and AM… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
