AT<sub>1</sub> receptor antagonist therapy preferentially ameliorated right ventricular function and phenotype during the early phase of remodeling post‐MI
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1. The influence of AII on contractile dysfunction, regulation of the tyrosine kinase-dependent signaling molecule extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and natriuretic peptide gene expression were examined in the noninfarcted left ventricle (NILV) and right ventricle (RV) during the early phase of remodeling post-myocardial infarct (MI) in the rat. The selective AT(1) receptor antagonist irbesartan was administered <10 h following coronary artery ligation, and rats were killed either at 4-day or 2-week post-MI. 2. At 4 days post-MI, left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP: sham=125+/-12, MI=91+/-4 mmHg) was decreased, whereas left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP: sham=9+/-2, MI=17+/-2 mm Hg), right ventricular systolic (RVSP: sham=26+/-1, MI=34+/-2 mm Hg), and end-diastolic pressures (RVEDP: sham=3+/-0.5, MI=7+/-1 mm Hg) were increased. ERK phosphorylation was significantly elevated in the NILV and RV. 3. Irbesartan (40 mg x kg(-1)/day(-1)) administration did not improve left ventricular function, or suppress increased ERK phosphorylation in the 4-day post-MI rat. By contrast, irbesartan therapy normalized RVSP (MI+irbesartan=25+/-1 mm Hg), RVEDP (MI+irbesartan=3+/-0.3 mm Hg), and reduced ERK1 (MI=3.0+/-0.6, MI+irbesartan=2.0+/-0.3-fold increase), and ERK2 (MI=3.8+/-0.8, MI+irbesartan=2.2+/-0.5-fold increase) phosphorylation. 4. In 2-week post-MI rats, biventricular dysfunction was associated with increased prepro-ANP, and prepro-BNP mRNA expression. Irbesartan therapy normalized RVSP, attenuated RVEDP, and abrogated natriuretic peptide mRNA expression (prepro-ANP; MI=9+/-2, MI+irbesartan=2+/-1-fold increase, prepro-BNP; MI=6+/-2, MI+irbesartan=1+/-1-fold increase), whereas both transcripts remained elevated in the NILV despite the partial attenuation of LVEDP. 5. These data suggest that the therapeutic benefit of irbesartan treatment during the early phase of remodeling post-MI was associated with the preferential amelioration of RV contractile function and phenotype.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
