Abstract
Aims: To investigate whether the vasoconstrictor isoprostane F 2?-III (iPF2?-III), released during myocardial reperfusion, contributes to the low/no reflow phenomenon observed following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and results: Thirteen patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for AMI had iPF2?-III measured by high-performance liquid and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Isoprostane F2?-III concentrations were significantly higher following PCI than in controls (1.5±1.3 vs. 16±0.06 nM, p < 0.001). Mean iPF 2?-III concentration correlated positively with ST-segment resolution at 90 min (R = 0.62, p < 0.05). In the isolated murine heart: (a) coronary vasoconstriction occurred at, or above, iPF2?-III concentrations of 1 ?M. From 1 to 10 ?M, iPF2?-III induced dose-dependent vasoconstriction (p = 0.005) with reduction in coronary flows (CF) of 57±5% and 31±4% (percentage baseline), respectively; (b) SQ29548 1 ?M completely reversed the vasoconstrictive effects of iPF2?-III 10 ?M; (c) SQ29548 1 ?M infused during reperfusion following 30 min ischaemia had no effect on CF or infarct volume. Conclusion: Concentrations of iPF2?-III released into the venous circulation during reperfusion following AMI in humans are significantly lower than those required to diminish coronary flow in the murine heart; increased levels indicate successful reperfusion. Inhibition of iPF 2?-III has no effect on coronary flow or infarct size in the murine heart, suggesting that iPF2?-III alone does not account for the low/no reflow phenomenon observed following AMI. © 2004 The European Society of Cardiology.
