Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Administration of adenosine attenuates myocardial stunning after reperfusion in a canine experimental ischemic model. However, it is unknown whether administration of adenosine triphosphate disodium (ATP) during reperfusion can attenuate myocardial stunning after coronary recanalization in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, we sought to elucidate the effects of ATP administration on serial changes of left ventricular systolic function before and after coronary recanalization.
METHODS: In 27 patients with first ST-elevation acute anterior MI, in whom primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was completed within 10 h after symptom onset, ATP at a mean rate of 103 microg/kg/min (n=16) or normal saline (n=11) was intravenously administered for 1 h during reperfusion. Left ventricular regional wall motion within the initially severely ischemic region was serially analyzed using the standard wall motion score index (WMSI) by transthoracic echocardiography.
RESULTS: Means of WMSIs were similar shortly before primary PCI in both groups (2.79 in ATP group and 2.69 in controls). They changed to 2.56 and 2.22 shortly after PCI, 2.49 and 2.39 on day 2, 2.34 and 2.30 on day 3, 2.19 and 2.25 on day 10, and 1.85 and 2.02, 6 months later, respectively. Transient improved regional wall motion within the initially severely ischemic region was observed shortly after PCI in controls (10.3% of observed segments); however, it was significantly suppressed in the ATP group (2.55%). The percent recovery of WMSI on day 10, which was defined as WMSI on day 10 normalized by improvement of WMSI for 6 months, was 63.8% in ATP group and 65.7% in controls, implying ATP administration could not reduce myocardial stunning by day 10 after primary PCI.
CONCLUSIONS: The high-dose administration of ATP during primary PCI prevented transient improved wall motion shortly after coronary recanalization rather than preventing left ventricular stunning. These results suggest that ATP can prevent reperfusion injury during primary PCI.
