Abstract

We investigated the role of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the remodeling of the left ventricle from 24 h to 12 wk after myocardial infarction in the rat. Infarct size planimetry, quantification of cardiomyocyte apoptosis, terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) methodology, and echocardiography (left ventricular diastolic diameter and ejection fraction) were performed. Sham-operated animals showed low rates of cardiomyocyte apoptosis (0.03%) and no change in diastolic diameter or ejection fraction during the study. Twenty-four hours after infarction, TUNEL positivity was high in the infarct areas (1.4%) and border zones (4.9%). It declined to 0.34% ( P < 0.01 vs. sham) at 4 wk and 0.10% at 12 wk in the border zones. In the remote myocardium, cardiomyocyte apoptosis increased to 0.07% ( P = 0.03 vs. sham) on day 1 and remained on the same level up to 4 wk. The increase in diastolic diameter 1–4 wk after infarction correlated ( r = 0.60, P < 0.01) with cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the noninfarcted myocardium, which quantitatively contributed most (>50%) to the apoptotic cell loss by 4 wk.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
