[Light microscopic and ultrastructural changes in the myocardium in experimental myocardiopathy in rats]. 1978

M Zlateva, and A Angelov

The authors examined the morphological changes in the myocardium of rats with myocardiopathy, caused by electrolytes, steroids and catecholamines. There were fresh and organized microinfarctions, occupying around 17--18% of the volume of the left heart ventricle. Scattered fuxinophilic necrosis were present in the zones outside the infarctions. The electrone microscopic examination of these areas showed vacuolization and crystolisis of mitochondria, dilatation of cysterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum after dilatation of Z discs of miofibrils and increased folds with herniation of the intercanicular discs. The obtained model belongs to the group of the infarction-like myocardiopathies and resembles the changes in the human myocardium during involvment of the small intramural myocardial arteries and microcirculatory bed.

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

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.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.

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.
