Beneficial Effects of Therapy on the Progression of Structural Remodeling During Healing After Reperfused and Nonreperfused Myocardial Infarction: Different Effects on Different Parameters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Structural left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction is a complex process with several pathophysiologic descriptors that can be modified by pharmacotherapy. However, the possibility that different classes of antiremodeling agents might exert different effects on different remodeling parameters after reperfused and nonreperfused myocardial infarction has not been systematically studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: We measured detailed left ventricular remodeling parameters in vivo (echocardiograms) repeatedly over 6 weeks and ex vivo (planimetry) at 6 weeks after myocardial infarction in 36 dogs randomized (factorial design) after reperfused or nonreperfused myocardial infarction to 6 weeks of twice daily oral therapy with the calcium channel blocker amlodipine (5 mg), the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril (5 mg) or placebo, and 18 matching sham or control animals. Compared to placebo and control groups over 6 weeks, both agents reduced left ventricular loading and limited overall remodeling in both reperfused and nonreperfused groups, but there were pertinent differences. Enalapril limited the increase in left ventricular asynergy in the reperfused group. Both enalapril and amlodipine limited infarct zone thinning in the nonreperfused groups but increased infarct zone thinning in the reperfused groups, despite preserved infarct zone collagen with amlodipine. Enalapril decreased left ventricular diastolic volume and mass more than amlodipine in the reperfused group and increased left ventricular ejection fraction in the nonreperfused group. Both agents limited regional and global shape deformation in reperfused and non-reperfused groups. Diastolic wall stress in the infarct zone decreased with amlodipine, and increased with enalapril and reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS: Different antiremodeling therapies may exert different effects on different remodeling parameters during healing after reperfused myocardial infarction. Significant interactions occur during reperfusion. More than one variable may be needed for the comprehensive assessment of the antiremodeling efficacy of different therapies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
