IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.
AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.
EnglishBACKGROUND: During ischemia, enhancement of the "late Na+ current" (I(NaL)) contributes to intracellular Ca2+ overload. Dysregulation of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), leading to ventricular arrhythmias and left ventricle (LV) dysfunction. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the I(NaL) blocker ranolazine on outcome of CPR in a rat model. We hypothesized that ranolazine might reduce postresuscitation arrhythmias and improve survival and recovery. METHODS: Eighteen rats were assigned to receive intravenous ranolazine 10 mg/kg or vehicle. Ventricular fibrillation was induced and untreated for 8 minutes. CPR then was performed for 8 minutes. ECG and arterial and right atrial pressures were monitored up to 3 hours after CPR. After resuscitation, LV function was monitored by echocardiography, and 72-hour survival with neurologic recovery was evaluated. Plasma was obtained for biomarkers of heart and brain injury. RESULTS: All animals in the ranolazine group were resuscitated and survived up to 72 hours, whereas 72% in the vehicle group were resuscitated but 54% survived. The period of postresuscitation arrhythmia with hemodynamic instability was shorter in the ranolazine group compared to vehicle group (P < .02). Seventy-two hours after resuscitation, LV systolic and diastolic functions were better in the ranolazine group compared to vehicle (P < .05). Full neurologic recovery was observed in all ranolazine animals, whereas neurologic impairment persisted in the vehicle group (P < .02). CONCLUSION: In this model, ranolazine pretreatment reduced postresuscitation electrical and hemodynamic instability and improved 72-hour postresuscitation LV function and survival with good neurologic recovery.
