The prophylactic effect of dipyridamole on the size of myocardial infarction following coronary artery occlusion. 1982

J Adolfsson, and G Tornling, and G Unge, and A Ljungqvist

Experimental myocardial infarction was induced in adult female Sprague-Dawley rats by ligation of the left coronary artery. During four weeks preceding the operation the animals were given dipyridamole (3 mg/kg initial body weight) i.p. twice a day 5 days per week. Control animals were given saline. Ten days after the operation the rats were killed and the hearts serially sectioned and stained. The volumes of necrotic and non-necrotic myocardial tissue were determined by morphometry on the histological sections. In the dipyridamole-treated animals the volume of non-necrotic myocardium was larger and the necrotic tissue volume smaller than in the control animals.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
