Abstract

This study was designed to develop a method for quantitative assessment of infarct size in the conscious animal based on serial changes of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity. From 11 experiments in which myocardial CPK was injected intravenously in conscious dogs, the average CPK distribution space and average CPK fractional disappearance rate from serum were found to be 11.4% of body weight and 0.48% min respectively. In other experiments, myocardial infarction was produced in 22 conscious dogs by constriction of a left coronary artery snare and serum CPK activity was determined at frequent intervals for 24 hr. Since myocardial CPK depletion reflects infarct size, infarct size was determined directly by analysis of myocardial CPK content in the same animals 24 hr after coronary artery occlusion. CPK released from the infarct was determined from observed changes in serum CPK activity analyzed according to a model taking into account the fraction of CPK released from an infarct and the rates of appearance and disappearance of CPK activity from serum. Infarct size was calculated on the basis of observed changes in serum CPK and compared to infarct size determined directly by analysis of myocardial CPK depletion. Agreement was close and results from all experiments fit the equation: [infarct size (g) determined from serum CPK] = 1.13 x [infarct size (g) determined from myocardial CPK] - 1.3, r = 0.96, n = 22. The method described is useful for accurate assessment of infarct size in the conscious animal and for detection of modification of infarct size produced by pharmacologic interventions.

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.
