title: Effect of ischemic preconditioning and mitochondrial KATP channel openers on chronic left ventricular remodeling in the ischemic-reperfused rat heart.
abstract: 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.
