Ischaemic preconditioning alters the energy metabolism and protects the ischaemic myocardium in a stepwise fashion

Abstract: We present for the first time concordant energy metabolic and morphometric data in support of IP being a stepwise phenomenon for protection of the ischaemic myocardium. Furthermore, IP resulted in proportionally higher levels of hypoxanthine (relative to inosine) in the ischaemic myocardium, suggesting a different handling of adenine nucleotide breakdown products in the IP myocardium.

“…This would be consistent with graded responses to Precon stimuli (107,187) and could explain variable data regarding age and Precon: studies of more profound Precon stimuli may detect efficacy in older hearts, while those using lower subthreshold stimuli may not. However, other investigations (86) identifying age-related abnormalities in cardioprotection have found that an enhanced stimulus is unable to overcome these changes.…”

“…Our presumption is that lower levels of interstitial lactate during coronary ligation reflect events in the myocardium local to the catheter membrane, which is managing a longer period of ischemia with lower levels of lactate production. Earlier observations 20 in pig coronary occlusion models where injury/infarct and pre‐conditioning with myocardial protection have been validated have shown similar patterns of decrease in lactate production in a ‘protected’ myocardium during a 40‐min coronary occlusion.…”

“…Myocardial IPC was created by temporary snare-occlusion for 10 min followed by reperfusion during 20 min, repeated four times [20]. Coronary venous samples (10 mL each) were collected every second minute during a 20 min period, starting 20 min after last LAD snare release.…”
