Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic conditioning-induced cardioprotection was attenuated by dyslipidemia in some animal and clinical studies, which is not investigated in patients with stroke. We conducted a post hoc analysis of the RICAMIS (Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Acute Moderate Ischemic Stroke) trial to investigate the association of dyslipidemia on admission with the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC). METHODS AND RESULTS In this analysis, eligible patients were divided into dyslipidemia and normal-lipid groups according to the levels of 4 blood lipid profiles (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), which were further subdivided into RIC and control subgroups. We analyzed the differences in functional outcome between RIC and control subgroups in dyslipidemia and normal-lipid patients, respectively, and the interaction effects of RIC treatment with blood lipid levels were evaluated. Among 1776 patients from intention-to-treat analysis, 1419 patients with data of blood lipid profiles were included in the final analysis. A significantly higher proportion of modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 1 was identified in the RIC versus control subgroup across the normal-total cholesterol group (69.9% versus 63.5%; P=0.04), normal-triglycerides group (68.1% versus 60.5%; P=0.016), high-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol group (65.7% versus 57.7%; P=0.025), and normal-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol group (68.3% versus 60.5%; P=0.005). Similar statistical trends were found in the high-total cholesterol group (62.8% versus 55.5%; P=0.059), high-triglycerides group (67.8% versus 60.1%; P=0.099), normal-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol group (69.8% versus 63.7%; P=0.105), but no statistical significance was found in the low-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol group (63.4% versus 61%; P=0.705). Furthermore, no significant interaction effect of RIC intervention by blood lipid profiles was found. Similar results were obtained for lipids as continuous variables. CONCLUSIONS Blood lipids on admission was not associated with the neuroprotective effect of RIC.

Physiol Rep 2021; 8:e14675.

Abstract
We recently discovered that the histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA), increases expression of the sulfonylurea receptor 2 (SUR2; Abcc9) subunit of the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP ) channel in HL-1 cardiomyocytes. Interestingly, the increase in SUR2 was abolished with exogenous cholesterol, suggesting that cholesterol may regulate channel expression. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that TSA increases SUR2 by depleting cholesterol and activating the sterol response element binding protein (SREBP) family of transcription factors. Treatment of HL-1 cardiomyocytes with TSA (30 ng/ml) caused a time-dependent increase in SUR2 mRNA expression that correlates with the time course of cholesterol depletion assessed by filipin staining. Consistent with the cholesterol-dependent regulation of SREBP increasing SUR2 mRNA expression, we observe a significant increase in SREBP cleavage and translocation to the nucleus following TSA treatment that is inhibited by exogenous cholesterol. Further supporting the role of SREBP in mediating the effect of TSA on KATP subunit expression, SREBP1 significantly increased luciferase reporter gene expression driven by the upstream SUR2 promoter. Lastly, HL-1 cardiomyocytes treated with the SREBP inhibitor PF429242 significantly suppresses the effect of TSA on SUR2 gene expression. These results demonstrate that SREBP is an important regulator of KATP channel expression and suggest a novel method by which hypercholesterolemia may exert negative effects on the cardiovascular system, namely, by suppressing expression of the KATP channel.

Abstract
Introduction Hypercholesterolemia is a well-known risk factor for developing atherosclerosis and subsequently for the risk of a myocardial infarction (MI). Moreover, it might also be related to the extent of damaged myocardium in the event of a MI. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of baseline low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) level with infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneously coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods Baseline blood samples were obtained from all patients admitted between 2004 and 2014 with STEMI who underwent pPCI. Patients were excluded in case of out of hospital cardiac arrest, treatment delay of at least 10 h or no complete reperfusion after pPCI in the culprit vessel. Peak creatine kinase (CK) level was used for infarct size estimation, defined as the maximal value during admission. Results A total of 2248 patients were included in this study (mean age 61.8 ± 12.2 years; 25.0% female). Mean LDL-c level was 3.6 ± 1.1 mmol/L and median peak CK level was 1275 U/L (IQR 564–2590 U/L). Baseline LDL-c level [β = 0.041; (95% CI 0.019–0.062); p < 0.001] was independently associated with peak CK level. Furthermore, left anterior descending artery as culprit vessel, initial TIMI 0–1 flow in the culprit vessel, male gender, and treatment delay were also correlated with high peak CK level (p < 0.05). Prior aspirin therapy was associated with lower peak CK level [β = − 0.073 (95% CI − 0.146 to 0.000), p = 0.050]. Conclusion This study demonstrates that besides the more established predictors of infarct size, elevated LDL-c is associated with augmented infarct size in patients with STEMI treated with pPCI.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Although reperfusion therapies are currently the best treatment for this entity, the restoration of blood flow leads, under certain circumstances, to a form of myocardial damage called reperfusion injury. Several studies have shown that age, sex, smoking, diabetes and dyslipidemia are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Among these risk factors, dyslipidemias are present in 40% of patients with ischemic heart disease and represent the clinical factor with the greatest impact on the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases. It is known that during reperfusion the increase of the oxidative stress is perhaps one of the most important mechanisms implicated in cell damage. That is why several researchers have studied protective mechanisms against reperfusion injury, such as the ischemic pre- and post- conditioning, making emphasis mainly on the reduction of oxidative stress. However, few of these efforts have been successfully translated into the clinical setting. The controversial results in regards to the relation between cardioprotective mechanisms and dyslipidemia/hypercholesterolemia are mainly due to the difference among quality, composition and the time of administration of hypercholesterolemic diets, as well as the difference in the species used in each of the studies. Therefore, in order to compare results, it is crucial that all variables that could modify the obtained results are taken into consideration.

Abstract
Remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) is a clinically feasible method of promoting tissue protection against subsequent ischemic insult. Recent findings from our lab demonstrated that RLIC robustly enhances motor learning in young, healthy humans. The next step is to determine which individuals would receive maximum benefit from RLIC before applying these findings to clinical rehabilitation populations such as stroke. Numerous factors, such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and cardiovascular comorbidities may influence the response. Sixty-nine participants aged 40-80 were randomized to receive either RLIC (n = 33) or sham (n = 36) conditioning. Participants underwent seven consecutive sessions consisting of RLIC or sham conditioning with a blood pressure cuff on the upper extremity and motor training on a stability platform balance task, with two follow-up sessions. Balance change (post-test-pre-test) was compared across participants, groups, and the factors of age, sex, BMI, and comorbidities. Participants in both groups improved their performance on the balance task from pre- to post-test. Overall balance change was independently associated with age and BMI. There was no difference in balance change between RLIC and Sham groups. However, RLIC significantly enhanced balance performance in participants with no comorbidities. Compared with our previous study in young adults, middle-aged and older adults demonstrated smaller improvements on the balance task. RLIC enhanced learning in middle-aged and older adults only in the absence of pre-defined comorbidities. RLIC may be a promising tool for enhancing motor recovery, but the accumulation of comorbidity with age may decrease its effectiveness.

Abstract
Ischemic heart diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Reperfusion of an ischemic heart is necessary to regain the normal functioning of the heart. However, abrupt reperfusion of an ischemic heart elicits a cascade of adverse events that leads to injury of the myocardium, i.e., ischemia-reperfusion injury. An endogenous powerful strategy to protect the ischemic heart is ischemic preconditioning, in which the myocardium is subjected to short periods of sublethal ischemia and reperfusion before the prolonged ischemic insult. However, it should be noted that the cardioprotective effect of preconditioning is attenuated in some pathological conditions. The aim of this article is to review present knowledge on how menopause and some metabolic disorders such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia affect myocardial ischemic preconditioning and the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolaemia is considered to be a principle risk factor for cardiovascular disease, having direct negative effects on the myocardium itself, in addition to the development of atherosclerosis. Since hypercholesterolaemia affects the global cardiac gene expression profile, among many other factors, it results in increased myocardial oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation triggered apoptosis, all of which may account for myocardial dysfunction and increased susceptibility of the myocardium to infarction. In addition, numerous experimental and clinical studies have revealed that hyperlcholesterolaemia may interfere with the cardioprotective potential of conditioning mechanisms. Although not fully elucidated, the underlying mechanisms for the lost cardioprotection in hypercholesterolaemic animals have been reported to involve dysregulation of the endothelial NOS-cGMP, reperfusion injury salvage kinase, peroxynitrite-MMP2 signalling pathways, modulation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and apoptotic pathways. In this review article, we summarize the current knowledge on the effect of hypercholesterolaemia on the non-ischaemic and ischaemic heart as well as on the cardioprotection induced by drugs or ischaemic preconditioning, postconditioning and remote conditioning. Future perspectives concerning the mechanisms and the design of preclinical and clinical trials are highlighted.

Abstract
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the dominant methods for revascularization in patient with coronary artery disease (CAD), which accompanied with high incidence of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) evaluated by postprocedural cardiac biomarker elevation. For the convenience of risk stratification of PMI following PCI, the aim of present review provides a unique opportunity to summarize the relationship of non-cardiac biomarkers with PMI by extensively searching in the MEDLINE to identify all the relevant studies. In conclusion, we found that PCI related PMI might be correlated positively to those non-cardiac biomarkers such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, the ratios of LDL-C to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the ratios of HDL-C to apolipoprotein A-I, the ratio of eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid, lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1, C-reactive protein, high on-treatment platelet reactivity, platelet-monocyte aggregates, N-term pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, hemoglobin and albuminuria. Inversely, no relationships of PMI with those non-cardiac biomarkers such as mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, platelet-larger cell ratio, uric acid, eosinophils count and the genetic variant of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677 C>T polymorphism. Moreover, there were controversial associations between PMI and those non-cardiac biomarkers such as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, homocysteine and the polymorphism Leu33Pro of platelet glycoprotein IIbIIIa. However, almost all studies failed to provide definite mechanism of its findings, and further reaches are needed to focus on the potential mechanisms of association between non-cardiac biomarkers and PMI related to PCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) is known to be a predictor of in-hospital cardiac events and long-term adverse outcomes following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to evaluate the correlation between preprocedural serum lipid levels and PMI in patients undergoing elective PCI. PATIENTS AND METHODS The final study group included 195 patients (60.1±0.7 years old, 68 women and 127 men). Serum high-sensitive troponin T (hscTnT) concentrations were measured immediately before PCI and 12 h after PCI. Serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels were determined immediately before PCI. Serum hscTnT concentrations were adjusted for the clinical and procedural characteristics of the patients using the weighted least-square regression analysis. RESULTS The average preprocedural hscTnT concentration was 8.1±0.2 ng/l. The average serum hscTnT concentration increased to 34.1±2.8 ng/l (P<0.001) 12 h after PCI. Postprocedural hscTnT concentrations were correlated positively to serum concentrations of TC (r=0.435; P<0.001), LDL-C (r=0.349; P<0.001), and TG (r=0.517; P<0.001). There was also a positive correlation (r=0.205; P<0.01) between postprocedural hscTnT and lesion length. Mild-moderate PMI (postprocedural hscTnT≥14 to <70 ng/l) and severe PMI (postprocedural hscTnT≥70 ng/l) were observed in 122 (48.7%) and 27 (13.9%) patients, respectively. The patients with severe PMI had higher serum TC (P<0.001), LDL-C (P<0.001), and TG (P<0.001) concentrations. CONCLUSION The present study indicates that increased preprocedural TC, LDL-C, and TG serum levels are associated with PMI and its severity following elective PCI.

Abstract
There is growing evidence, that beneficial effects of ischemic heart preconditioning (IPC) may be lost or limited due to diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure and senility. It is plausible, that these conditions interfere with the biochemical pathways underlying the IPC response, but the detailed explanation is not clear. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), histamine and many other agents used in a single dose before prolonged ischemia mimic IPC. However prolonged exposure to preconditioning mimetics leads to tolerance (tachyphylaxis). In the state of such tolerance ischemic preconditioning is no longer protective. Studies suggest that diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure and older age are accompanied by increased plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, MCP-1 and other inflammatory mediators. Therefore, we raised the hypothesis, that the reported lack of benefits of IPC in the listed states may be due to tolerance to IPC developed during prolonged exposure of the myocardium to preconditioning mimetics.

Abstract
Following a period of ischemia (local restriction of blood supply to a tissue), the restoration of blood supply to the affected area causes significant tissue damage. This is known as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and is a central pathological mechanism contributing to many common disease states. The medical complications caused by IRI in individuals with cerebrovascular or heart disease are a leading cause of death in developed countries. IRI is also of crucial importance in fields as diverse as solid organ transplantation, acute kidney injury and following major surgery, where post-operative organ dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Given its clinical impact, novel interventions are urgently needed to minimize the effects of IRI, not least to save lives but also to reduce healthcare costs. In this Review, we examine the experimental technique of ischemic conditioning, which entails exposing organs or tissues to brief sub-lethal episodes of ischemia and reperfusion, before, during or after a lethal ischemic insult. This approach has been found to confer profound tissue protection against IRI. We discuss the translation of ischemic conditioning strategies from bench to bedside, and highlight where transition into human clinical studies has been less successful than in animal models, reviewing potential reasons for this. We explore the challenges that preclude more extensive clinical translation of these strategies and emphasize the role that underlying comorbidities have in altering the efficacy of these strategies in improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is a pathological state which occurs due to severe abrogation of the blood supply (ischemia) to a part of heart, which can cause myocardial damage. The short intermittent cycles of sub-lethal ischemia and reperfusion has shown to improve the tolerance of the myocardium against subsequent prolonged ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injury, which is known as ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Although, IPC-induced cardioprotection is well demonstrated in various species, including human beings, accumulated evidence clearly suggests critical abrogation of the beneficial effects of IPC in diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia. Various factors are involved in the attenuation of the cardioprotective effect of preconditioning, such as the reduced release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), the over-expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), impairment of mito-KATP channels, the consequent opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), etc. In this review, we have critically discussed the various signaling pathways involved in abrogated preconditioning in chronic diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia. We have also focused on the involvement of PTEN in abrogated preconditioning and the significance of PTEN inhibitors.

Abstract
Since diabetic cardiomyopathy was first reported four decades ago, substantial information on its pathogenesis and clinical features has accumulated. In the heart, diabetes enhances fatty acid metabolism, suppresses glucose oxidation, and modifies intracellular signaling, leading to impairments in multiple steps of excitation–contraction coupling, inefficient energy production, and increased susceptibility to ischemia/reperfusion injury. Loss of normal microvessels and remodeling of the extracellular matrix are also involved in contractile dysfunction of diabetic hearts. Use of sensitive echocardiographic techniques (tissue Doppler imaging and strain rate imaging) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy enables detection of diabetic cardiomyopathy at an early stage, and a combination of the modalities allows differentiation of this type of cardiomyopathy from other organic heart diseases. Circumstantial evidence to date indicates that diabetic cardiomyopathy is a common but frequently unrecognized pathological process in asymptomatic diabetic patients. However, a strategy for prevention or treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy to improve its prognosis has not yet been established. Here, we review both basic and clinical studies on diabetic cardiomyopathy and summarize problems remaining to be solved for improving management of this type of cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
A low concentration of nitric oxide associated with a high concentration of
asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) can explain the lack of ischemic
cardioprotection observed in the presence of hypercholesterolemia. The objective
of the present study was to evaluate the effect of hypercholesterolemia on
ischemic pre- and postconditioning and its correlation with plasma
concentrations of ADMA. Male Wistar rats (6-8 weeks old) fed a 2%
cholesterol diet (n = 21) for 8 weeks were compared to controls (n
= 25) and were subjected to experimental myocardial infarction and
reperfusion, with ischemic pre- and postconditioning. Total cholesterol and ADMA
were measured in plasma before the experimental infarct and the infarct area was
quantified. Weight, total cholesterol and plasma ADMA (means ± SE; 1.20
± 0.06, 1.27 ± 0.08 and 1.20 ± 0.08 vs
0.97 ± 0.04, 0.93 ± 0.05 and 0.97 ± 0.04 µM)
were higher in animals on the hypercholesterolemic diet than in controls,
respectively. Cardioprotection did not reduce infarct size in the
hypercholesterolemic animals (pre: 13.55% and post: 8% compared to
7.95% observed in the group subjected only to ischemia and reperfusion),
whereas infarct size was reduced in the animals on a normocholesterolemic diet
(pre: 8.25% and post: 6.10% compared to 12.31%).
Hypercholesterolemia elevated ADMA and eliminated the cardioprotective effects
of ischemic pre- and postconditioning in rats.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of morbi-mortality in developed countries. Both ischemia–reperfusion injury and mechanisms of cardioprotection have been studied for more than 50 years. It is known that the physiopathological mechanism of myocardial ischemia involves several factors that are closely related to its development, of which hypercholesterolemia is one of the main ones. Therefore, the objective of this review was to elucidate the effects of a high-cholesterol diet on normal ventricular function and ischemia–reperfusion injury associated phenomenon such as post-ischemic ventricular dysfunction (stunned myocardium). Although there exist many studies considering several aspects of this physiopathological entity, the majority were carried out on normal animals. Thus, experiments carried out on hypercholesterolemic models are controversial, in particular those evaluating different mechanisms of cardioprotection such as ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning, and cardioprotection granted by drugs such as statins, which apart from exerting a lipid-lowering effect, exert pleiotropic effects providing cardioprotection against ischemia–reperfusion injury. These controversial results concerning the mechanisms of cardioprotection vary according to quality, composition, and time of administration of the high-cholesterol diet, as well as the species used in each experiment. Thus, to compare the results it is necessary to take all of these variables into account, since they can change the obtained results.

Abstract
The outcome of cardiac ischemic events depends not only on the extent and duration of the ischemic stimulus but also on the myocardial intrinsic tolerance to ischemic injury. Cardiac ischemic tolerance reflects myocardial functional reserves that are not always used when the tissue is appropriately oxygenated. Ischemic tolerance is modulated by ubiquitous signal transduction pathways, transcription factors and cellular enzymes, converging on the mitochondria as the main end effector. Therefore, drugs and toxins affecting these pathways may impair cardiac ischemic tolerance without affecting myocardial integrity or function in oxygenated conditions. Such effect would not be detected by current toxicological studies but would considerably influence the outcome of ischemic events. The authors refer to such effect as “occult cardiotoxicity.” In this review, the authors summarize current knowledge about main mechanisms that determine cardiac ischemic tolerance, methods to assess it, and the effects of drugs and toxins on it. The authors offer a view that low cardiac ischemic tolerance is a premorbid status and, therefore, that occult cardiotoxicity is a significant potential source of cardiac morbidity. The authors propose that toxicologic assessment of compounds would include the assessment of their effect on cardiac ischemic tolerance.

Abstract
Adjunctive cardioprotective strategies for ameliorating the reversible and irreversible injuries with ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) are highly desirable. However, after decades of research, the promise of clinical cardioprotection from I/R injury remains poorly realized. This may arise from the challenges of trialing and effectively translating experimental findings from laboratory models to patients. One can additionally consider whether features of the more heavily focused upon candidates could limit or preclude therapeutic utility and thus whether we might shift attention to alternate strategies. The phenomena of preconditioning and postconditioning have proven fertile in identification of experimental means of cardioprotection and are the most intensely interrogated responses in the field. However, there is evidence these processes, which share common molecular signaling elements and end effectors, may be poor choices for clinical exploitation. This includes evidence of age dependence, limiting efficacy in target aged or senescent hearts; refractoriness to conditioning stimuli in diseased myocardium; interference from a variety of relevant pharmaceuticals; inadvertent induction of these responses by prior ischemia or commonly used drugs, precluding further benefit; and sex dependence of protective signaling. This review focuses on these features, raising questions about current research strategies, and the suitability of these widely studied phenomena as rational candidates for clinical translation.

Abstract
Perioperative myocardial ischemia and infarction are not only major sources of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery but also important causes of prolonged hospital stay and resource utilization. Ischemic and pharmacological preconditioning and postconditioning have been known for more than 2 decades to provide protection against myocardial ischemia and reperfusion and limit myocardial infarct size in many experimental animal models, as well as in clinical studies. This article reviews the physiology and pharmacology of ischemic and drug-induced preconditioning and postconditioning of the myocardium with special emphasis on the mechanisms by which volatile anesthetics provide myocardial protection. Insights gained from animal and clinical studies are reviewed and recommendations given for the use of perioperative anesthetics and medications.

Abstract
This review takes a critical look at the current effectiveness of reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction and at the potential for cardioprotective agents to improve it. Reperfusion alone limits the median value of infarct size to approximately 50% of the ischemic region. However, the range of infarct sizes is very wide, and one-fourth of these patients have more than 75% of the ischemic zone infarcted despite successful coronary reperfusion. Available studies suggest that mortality and morbidity is increased when more than 20% of the left ventricle is infarcted. Therefore, to be effective infarct size-limiting therapy would have to reduce infarction to or below this 20% target. To achieve this goal in the quartile of patients with the biggest infarcts the cardioprotective agent would have to be potent enough to reduce infarct size from its current value of 75% of the ischemic zone to 40% or less. While ischemic preconditioning and some pretreatment drugs might be potent enough to achieve this goal, few of the agents given at the clinically relevant time of at or just before reperfusion have exhibited such potency. Several cardioprotective agents have recently been evaluated in clinical trials but their results have been disappointing. Some of the poor clinical trial performance may stem from study designs which fail to identify those patients falling within the upper quartile of infarct sizes, presumably the only group that would be expected to actually benefit from a reduction in infarct size. Other possible causes could be that co-morbidities or drugs patients are taking may block the pathways involved in the anti-infarct effect or that the drugs simply do not protect even in animal models. Few agents have been thoroughly tested in clinically relevant animal models prior to their testing in man.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although ischemic preconditioning (PC) is known to confer cardioprotection in healthy subjects, it is unclear whether this phenomenon exists in the presence of hyperlipidaemia. The goal of this study was to determine whether the cardioprotective effect of PC is affected by hyperlipidaemia in a guinea pig model. METHODS We investigated the influence of preconditioning in normo- and hyperlipidaemic animals on papillary muscle contractility and myocardial damage as expressed by the percentage of apoptotic cells. Guinea pigs were fed a normal diet or a hyperlipidaemic diet for 5 weeks. Experiments were performed on papillary muscles subjected to experimental ischemia-reperfusion with or without prior PC. RESULTS The dietary treatment resulted in significant changes in lipid parameters, which had not affected the functionality of the right ventricle papillary muscle, both at basal conditions and in response to ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, it was found that the hyperlipidaemic diet had an effect on ischemia-induced apoptosis. Papillary muscles of hyperlipidaemic animals with higher HDL plasma concentrations were less susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that hyperlipidaemia does not alter the benefits of ischemic preconditioning such as a reduction of apoptosis and preservation of myocardial contractility. Additionally, it has been shown that plasma HDL may protect cardiomyocytes against ischemia-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Therapeutic strategies to protect the ischemic myocardium have been studied extensively. Reperfusion is the definitive treatment for acute coronary syndromes, especially acute myocardial infarction; however, reperfusion has the potential to exacerbate lethal tissue injury, a process termed "reperfusion injury." Ischemia/reperfusion injury may lead to myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, and contractile dysfunction. Ischemic preconditioning of myocardium is a well described adaptive response in which brief exposure to ischemia/reperfusion before sustained ischemia markedly enhances the ability of the heart to withstand a subsequent ischemic insult. Additionally, the application of brief repetitive episodes of ischemia/reperfusion at the immediate onset of reperfusion, which has been termed "postconditioning," reduces the extent of reperfusion injury. Ischemic pre- and postconditioning share some but not all parts of the proposed signal transduction cascade, including the activation of survival protein kinase pathways. Most experimental studies on cardioprotection have been undertaken in animal models, in which ischemia/reperfusion is imposed in the absence of other disease processes. However, ischemic heart disease in humans is a complex disorder caused by or associated with known cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, and heart failure; additionally, aging is an important modifying condition. In these diseases and aging, the pathological processes are associated with fundamental molecular alterations that can potentially affect the development of ischemia/reperfusion injury per se and responses to cardioprotective interventions. Among many other possible mechanisms, for example, in hyperlipidemia and diabetes, the pathological increase in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and the use of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel inhibitor insulin secretagogue antidiabetic drugs and, in aging, the reduced expression of connexin-43 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 may disrupt major cytoprotective signaling pathways thereby significantly interfering with the cardioprotective effect of pre- and postconditioning. The aim of this review is to show the potential for developing cardioprotective drugs on the basis of endogenous cardioprotection by pre- and postconditioning (i.e., drug applied as trigger or to activate signaling pathways associated with endogenous cardioprotection) and to review the evidence that comorbidities and aging accompanying coronary disease modify responses to ischemia/reperfusion and the cardioprotection conferred by preconditioning and postconditioning. We emphasize the critical need for more detailed and mechanistic preclinical studies that examine car-dioprotection specifically in relation to complicating disease states. These are now essential to maximize the likelihood of successful development of rational approaches to therapeutic protection for the majority of patients with ischemic heart disease who are aged and/or have modifying comorbid conditions.

Abstract
We have previously shown that dietary red palm oil (RPO) supplementation improves functional recovery in hearts subjected to ischaemia-reperfusion. However, little knowledge exists concerning the effects of RPO supplementation of a high-cholesterol diet on ischaemia-reperfusion injury. The signalling mechanisms responsible for RPO's effects in the presence of cholesterol also remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of RPO, given with a high-cholesterol diet, on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and apoptosis. Long-Evans rats were fed a control diet, a control diet containing 2% cholesterol, or a control diet containing 2% cholesterol and 7 g RPO per kg (CRPO) for 5 weeks. Hearts were excised and mounted on an isolated working heart perfusion apparatus. Cardiac function was measured after which hearts were freeze-clamped and used to assess MAPK phosphorylation and to evaluate apoptosis. Cholesterol supplementation caused a poor aortic output (AO) recovery compared with the control group (35.5 (sem 6.2) v. 55.4 (sem 2.5) %), but when RPO was added, the percentage AO increased significantly. The cholesterol group's poor AO was associated with a significant increase in p38-MAPK phosphorylation, whereas the CRPO-supplemented group showed as significant reduction in p38-MAPK phosphorylation when compared with the cholesterol-supplemented group. This significant reduction in p38-MAPK was also associated with reduced apoptosis as indicated by significant reductions in caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardioprotection by preconditioning is limited in some animal models of hypercholesterolemia. We studied ischemic preconditioning induced by coronary angioplasty in hypercholesterolemic and normocholesterolemic patients by means of a beat-to-beat analysis of ST segments. METHODS Thirty coronary disease patients were classified into normocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic groups. Intracoronary ECG was recorded during three consecutive balloon inflations of 2-min duration with 5-min intervals. RESULTS In normocholesterolemic patients, the ST segment was continuously elevated during the occlusions and rapidly normalized after balloon deflations. Repeated occlusions significantly attenuated ST-segment elevation from 1.28 +/- 0.67 to 0.88 +/- 0.51 mV (p < 0.001) and decreased the time to normalization of ST segment. In hypercholesterolemic patients, the ST segment was rapidly elevated in the first 30 s of the first occlusion, and normalization of the ST segment was longer on the first reperfusion. However, in these patients, repeated occlusions abolished the initial elevation of the ST segment but did not attenuate maximal ST-segment elevation (1.24 +/- 1.11 mV vs 1.21 +/- 1.09 mV) and failed to decrease the time to normalization of the ST segment. CONCLUSIONS Hypercholesterolemia accelerates the evolution of myocardial ischemia, delays recovery on reperfusion, and deteriorates the anti-ischemic effect of preconditioning in humans.

[PMID: 15372283 PMCID: PMC3713468 DOI: 10.1007/s00395-004-0485-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2004] [Revised: 08/06/2004] [Accepted: 08/27/2004] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Although NO donors have been shown to confer late preconditioning (PC) against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in healthy rabbits, it is unknown whether concurrent systemic disorders affect NO donor-induced cardioprotection. Since many patients with coronary artery disease have hypercholesterolemia (HC), we examined the effect of this condition on late PC induced by the NO donor diethylenetriamine/nitric oxide (DETA/ NO). Chronically instrumented rabbits were fed a normal diet (normocholesterolemia, NC) or a diet enriched with 1% cholesterol (HC) for 4 weeks. Plasma cholesterol levels were significantly elevated and the arterial pressure response to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator bradykinin was blunted in cholesterol diet-fed rabbits. Conscious rabbits underwent a 30-minute coronary occlusion followed by 3 days of reperfusion. When NC rabbits were pretreated with DETA/NO (0.1 mg/kg, i. v. x 4, group II, n = 7) 24 hours before the 30-minute occlusion, infarct size was reduced by 52% (29.7 +/- 3.4% versus 62.4 +/- 4.0% of the region at risk in NC controls [group I, n = 5], P < 0.05), indicating that DETA/NO induced a late PC effect against myocardial infarction. In contrast, when HC rabbits were pretreated with the same dose of DETA/NO (group IV, n = 6), infarct size was not significantly reduced (61.0 +/- 5.7% versus 68.1 +/- 4.5% of the region at risk in HC [group III, n = 5], P = NS), suggesting that DETA/NO failed to induce a delayed cardioprotective effect. These data demonstrate, for the first time, that HC blunts NO donor-induced late PC against myocardial infarction, implying that the inhibitory effects of HC on ischemia-induced and NO donor-induced late PC are caused by disruption of biochemical pathways distal to the generation of NO that triggers these adaptations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preinfarction angina has been reported to limit infarct size, in a manner analogous to experimental preconditioning. However, other studies have reported inconsistent results. We aimed to investigate prospectively the role of preinfarction angina on infarct size and in hospital outcome. METHODS Ninety-nine patients were divided into three groups according to the timing of angina: the group "< 48 h" reported angina within the last 48 h, the group "> 48 h" earlier than 48 h and the group "acute" no angina before infarction. Myocardial injury was estimated by creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, troponin I and C-reactive protein. In hospital events included death, recurrent ischemia, congestive heart failure and atrioventricular block. RESULTS Clinical characteristics, thrombolysis administration and the magnitude of enzymes released were not statistically different among the three groups: peak creatine kinase was 2139+/-1714 U/l for the >48 h group, vs. 2344+/-1634 U/l for the acute group, vs. 2209+/-1384 U/l for the <48 h group (p=0.88). Peak creatine kinase-MB was 124+/-104 U/l for the >48 h group, vs. 168+/-182 U/l for the acute group, vs. 154+/-108 U/l for the <48 h group (p=0.62). Peak troponin I, peak C-reactive protein and in hospital outcome also did not differ statistically in the three groups; p=0.5, p=0.45. CONCLUSIONS Infarct size estimated by cardiac enzymes and by the marker of C-reactive protein, as well as in hospital clinical prognosis are not different in patients with and without preinfarction angina. It seems, therefore, that preinfarction angina confers ischemic conditions inadequate to mimic preconditioning.

Abstract
We studied the effects of various cycles of preconditioning (PC) (one cycle, 1 x PC; two cycles, 2 x PC; three cycles, 3 x PC; and four cycles, 4 x PC) on cardiac function, infarct size, and the incidence of reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in isolated hearts obtained from rabbits with hypercholesterolemia. After 8 weeks of hypercholesterolemia, hearts were subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Various cycles of PC resulted in a "cycle-dependent" reduction in infarct size in the age-matched nonhypercholesterolemic group. In the 8-week hypercholesterolemic group, increasing cycles of PC resulted in a significant increase in infarct size from their nonpreconditioned ischemic/reperfused control value of 44 +/- 5% to 45 +/- 6%, 49 +/- 5%, 59 +/- 6% (p < 0.05), and 58 +/- 5% (p < 0.05), respectively. PC increased the vulnerability of the myocardium to reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in hypercholesterolemics indicating that PC may be an "intact heart" phenomenon. The effects of PC appear currently to be a dilemma in laboratories and clinics. The solution to the problem of PC in intact and diseased myocardium requires further data from two different sources: (a) previously "diseased" animals, and (b) diseased human myocardium from clinics. Once these data are available, then the effects under which PC will be beneficial rather than harmful could be established and the dilemma solved.
