1. Histomorphometric and sympathetic innervation of the human internal thoracic artery
INTRODUCTION: Internal thoracic artery (ITA) is an established arterial graft for the coronary artery by-pass surgery. Special micro-anatomical features of the ITA wall may protect it from age related pathological changes. One of the complications seen after coronary artery bypass grafting is vasospasm. Sympathetic nerves may be involved in vasospasm. OBJECT

2. Alterações anatomopatológicas em corações de camundongos submetidos à inalação crônica de cocaína crack / Anatomopathological alterations in hearts of mice submitted to chronic inhalation of crack cocaine
Crack cocaine is the currently popular form of cocaine, due to its low cost and rapid effects on the central nervous system. Alterations caused by cocaine on the hearts of humans and animals are well known and severe disorders in the cardiovascular system, which are sometimes fatal, are frequent. Considering the growing concern regarding the increase in the

3. Coronary endothelial dysfunction after ischemia and reperfusion: a new therapeutic target?
Although cardiac ischemia is usually characterized as a disease of the myocyte, it is clear that the vasculature, and especially endothelial cells, is also a major target of this pathology. Indeed, using a rat model of ischemia/reperfusion, we were able to detect severe endothelial dysfunction (assessed as a decreased response to acetylcholine) after acute o

4. Positron emission tomography with oxygen-15 of stunned myocardium caused by coronary artery vasospasm after recovery.
Stunned myocardium is often observed after unstable angina, myocardial infarction, thrombolysis, angioplasty, and bypass surgery but rarely after coronary vasospasm. A case of stunned myocardium caused by diffuse coronary artery vasospasm and mimicking myocardial infarction is reported. The patient had an emergency coronary angiography, which showed no patho

5. Severe coronary vasospasm associated with hyperthyroidism causing myocardial infarction.
A 48 year old woman presented with angina after an anterior myocardial infarction and was found to be hyperthyroid. Coronary angiography showed a stenosis of the left coronary os and a long, severe stenosis of the left anterior descending artery which was partially relieved by glyceryl trinitrate. Three months later, after radioactive iodine treatment had re

6. Preserved endothelium-dependent vasodilation at the vasospastic site in patients with variant angina.
Endothelial dysfunction has been implicated as a cause of coronary vasospasm in patients with variant angina. This study aimed to determine if endothelium-dependent vasodilation evoked with substance P (SP) was altered at the spastic site where vasospasm was induced by acetylcholine (ACH) in patients with variant angina. It has been shown that SP evokes endo

7. Coronary Artery Vasospasm Complicating Acute Myocarditis: A Rare Association
A 17-year-old boy had a 2-day prodrome of fever and mild sore throat followed by 2 episodes of severe anginal chest discomfort and substantial transient ST-segment elevations in the anterior leads of the electrocardiogram. A subsequent evaluation showed the 2 episodes were most likely coronary vasospasm complicating acute viral myocarditis.

8. Acute myocardial infarction due to vasospasm induced by prostaglandin
Prostaglandin E (PGE) is the preferred agent for second-trimester pregnancy termination. Hypotension, bradycardia, ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest and death associated with PGE have been reported. A case of acute myocardial infarction due to coronary vasospasm induced by PGE is described in the present report. The diagnosis was

9. Episodic coronary artery vasospasm and hypertension develop in the absence of Sur2 KATP channels
KATP channels couple the intracellular energy state to membrane excitability and regulate a wide array of biologic activities. KATP channels contain a pore-forming inwardly rectifying potassium channel and a sulfonylurea receptor regulatory subunit (SUR1 or SUR2). To clarify the role of KATP channels in vascular smooth muscle, we studied Sur2 gene-targeted m

10. Coronary Vasospasm Inducing Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
An 80-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department of our institution due to acute, anterior-wall myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed systolic anterior motion of the mitral leaflets with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Although coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries,

11. Coronary artery vasospasm: the likely immediated cause of acute myocardial infarction.
Features of infarction can be divided into two types--the spasmodic and the mechanical. The former (pre-infarct angina and emotional factors in infarction) seem readily explainable by spasm, and are similar to the findings in angina which prompted Heberden to consider angina as spasmodic. The mechanical features of infarction (association with thrombosis and

12. Intraluminal milrinone for dilation of the radial artery graft.
There is renewed interest in the use of the radial artery as a conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. The radial artery is, however, a very muscular artery, prone to vasospasm. Milrinone, a potent vasodilator, has demonstrated vasodilatory properties superior to those of papaverine. In this report, we describe our technique of radial artery harvesting a
