Extract

Myocardial ischemia is defined as a cessation of blood flow to the heart, and reperfusion as a return to normal flow conditions following ischemia. It has been shown that contractility decreases immediately during ischemia and diastolic dysfunctiuon may persist during reperfusion. Changes in contractility can be directly attributed to intracellular Ca2+ handling, either by altering the myofilament sensitivity to calcium or by affecting Ca2+ cycling by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Previous studies have demonstrated that there are changes in intracellular Ca2+ cycling following ischemia and during reperfusion. The goals of the present study were: 1) to assess the effects of varying periods of ischemia on the size of the releasable (diastolic) SR Ca2+ store; 2) to determine whether changes in the size of the SR Ca2+ store are related to ischemia or reperfusion; 3) to correlate changes in the size of the SR Ca2+ store following ischemia with functional recovery of the heart.
