Abstract
Early myocardial ischemia (EMI) is morphologically challenging, and the results from conventional histological staining may be subjective, imprecise, or even silent. The size of myocardial necrosis determines the acute and long-term mortality of EMI. The precise diagnosis of myocardial ischemia is critical for both clinical management and forensic investigation. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic imaging is a highly sensitive tool for detecting protein conformations and imaging protein profiles. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of FTIR imaging with multivariate analysis to detect biochemical changes in the protein conformation in the early phase of myocardial ischemia and to visually classify different disease states. The spectra and curve fitting results revealed that the total protein content decreased significantly in the EMI group and that the α-helix content of the secondary protein structure continuously decreased as ischemia progressed, while the β-sheet content increased. Differences in the control and EMI groups and perfused and ischemic myocardium were confirmed using principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis. Next, two support vector machine classifiers were effectively created. The accuracy, recall, and precision were 99.98, 99.96, and 100.00%, respectively, to differentiate the EMI group from the control group and 99.25, 98.95, and 99.54%, respectively, to differentiate perfused and ischemic myocardium. Ultimately, high EMI diagnostic accuracy was achieved with 100.00% recall and 100.00% precision, and ischemic myocardium diagnostic accuracy was achieved with 99.30% recall and 99.53% precision for the test set. This pilot study demonstrated that FTIR imaging is a powerful automated quantitative analysis tool to detect EMI without morphological changes and will improve diagnostic accuracy and patient prognosis.

Abstract
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) contributes to the progression of heart failure in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Randomized controlled trials demonstrated that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO significantly improves angina symptoms and quality of life but fails to reduce clinical events compared with optimal medical therapy. Even so, intervening physicians strongly support CTO-PCI. Cardiac regeneration therapy after CTO-PCI should be a promising approach to improving the prognosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, the relationship between CTO revascularization and cardiac regeneration has rarely been studied, and experimental studies on cardiac regeneration usually employ rodent models with permanent ligation of the coronary artery rather than reopening of the occlusive artery. Limited early-stage clinical trials demonstrated that cell therapy for cardiac regeneration in ischemic cardiomyopathy reduces scar size, reverses cardiac remodeling, and promotes angiogenesis. This review focuses on the status quo of CTO-PCI in ischemic cardiomyopathy and the clinical prospect of cardiac regeneration in this setting.

Surgical Ventricular Restoration for Ischemic Heart Failure: A Glance at a Real-World Population. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12040567. [PMID: 35455682 PMCID: PMC9030669 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12040567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) has repeatedly been suggested as a viable therapeutic strategy for ischemic heart failure (HF) patients, although the survival benefit is still debated. We investigated a real-world population treated with SVR in a single center with high case volumes. From July 2001 to June 2017, 648 patients (111 females) underwent SVR; coronary surgery was performed in 582 patients. Data were analyzed by dividing the population into two groups: Group I (371 patients operated between July 2001 and December 2007) and Group II (277 patients operated between January 2008 and June 2017). At baseline, Group I patients were more symptomatic for angina (47.4% versus 19.4%, p < 0.0001) and less symptomatic for HF (NYHA class III/IV, 46.3% versus 57%, p = 0.0071). The end-diastolic volume (106 mL/m2 versus 118.3 mL/m2, p < 0.0001) and the end-systolic volume (70.5 mL/m2 versus 81.5 mL/m2, p < 0.0001) were lower in Group I. The presence of 3-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) was higher in Group I (73.3% versus 59.2%, p < 0.0001). Thirty-day mortality (6.64%) was similar in the two groups (p = 0.4475). The Kaplan−Meier estimate for all-cause mortality for the entire population was 13% at 2 years, 19.2% at 4 years and 36.6% at 8 years, and the probability was not different between groups (Log-rank = 0.11). In a real-world ischemic HF population, SVR may be carried out with favorable results; in patients with worse LV remodeling and less extensive CAD, SVR showed a trend toward a better outcome.

A historical appraisal of the techniques of left ventricular volume reduction in ischemic cardiomyopathy: Who did what? J Card Surg 2021; 37:409-414. [PMID: 34812531 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Resection or exclusion of scars following a myocardial infarction on the left anterior descending artery territory started even before the beginning of the modern era of cardiac surgery. Many techniques were developed, but there is still confusion on who did what. The original techniques underwent modifications that brought to a variety of apparently new procedures that, however, were only a "revisitation" of what described before. In some case, old techniques were reproposed and renamed, without giving credit to the surgeon that was the original designer. Herein we try to describe which are the seminal procedures and some of the most important modifications, respecting however the merit of who first communicated the procedure to the scientific world.
