Cardioprotection in pigs by exogenous norepinephrine but not by cerebral ischemia-induced release of endogenous norepinephrine
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endogenous norepinephrine release induced by
cerebral ischemia may lead to small areas of necrosis in normal hearts.
Conversely, norepinephrine may be one of the mediators that limit
myocardial infarct size by ischemic preconditioning. Because brief
ischemia in kidneys or skeletal muscle limits infarct size produced by
coronary artery occlusion, we investigated whether cardiac norepinephrine
release during transient cerebral ischemia also elicits remote myocardial
preconditioning. METHODS: Forty-one crossbred pigs of either sex were
assigned to 1 of 7 experimental groups, of which in 6 groups myocardial
infarct size was determined after a 60-minute coronary occlusion and 12
