The influence of ischemic preconditioning (IP) and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mito-KATP) channel openers on chronic left ventricular (LV) remodeling remains unknown, so the effect of IP and mito-KATP channel openers on the LV pressure-volume curve was assessed in rats subjected to 30 min ischemia followed by a 3-week reperfusion. Infarct size was histologically determined at 3 weeks after reperfusion. The LV pressure-volume curve was significantly shifted left by IP, diazoxide and nicorandil compared with the controls. These effects were blocked by the selective mito-KATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate. The LV remodeling and the infarct size at 3 weeks after reperfusion correlated well, indicating that the reduction of LV remodeling in the ischemic-reperfused model was strongly influenced by attenuation of the ischemic injury. LV remodeling in the chronic phase is attenuated by IP and mito-KATP channel openers with concomitant reduction of infarct size.

D003981	Diazoxide	A benzothiadiazine derivative that is a peripheral vasodilator used for hypertensive emergencies. It lacks diuretic effect, apparently because it lacks a sulfonamide group.	Hyperstat,Proglycem
D006339	Heart Rate	The number of times the HEART VENTRICLES contract per unit of time, usually per minute.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015221	Potassium Channels	Cell membrane glycoproteins that are selectively permeable to potassium ions. At least eight major groups of K channels exist and they are made up of dozens of different subunits.

D015425	Myocardial Reperfusion	Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.

D015640	Ion Channel Gating	The opening and closing of ion channels due to a stimulus. The stimulus can be a change in membrane potential (voltage-gated), drugs or chemical transmitters (ligand-gated), or a mechanical deformation. Gating is thought to involve conformational changes of the ion channel which alters selective permeability.	Gating, Ion Channel,Gatings, Ion Channel,Ion Channel Gatings
D016277	Ventricular Function, Left	The hemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the left HEART VENTRICLE. Its measurement is an important aspect of the clinical evaluation of patients with heart disease to determine the effects of the disease on cardiac performance.
