Abstract 4147779: Dynamin-Related Protein (DRP1) during Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: Culprit or innocent bystander?

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4147779-A4147779, November 12, 2024. Historically, DRP1 has been targeted through genetic downregulation and small-molecule inhibition, thereby mitigating apoptosis and lethal ischemia-reperfusion (IR).Aim:Our

Dynamic OMI ECG. Negative trops and negative angiogram does not rule out coronary ischemia or ACS.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This confirms that the pain was ischemia and is now resovled. The cardiology fellow agreed with plan for emergent cath and escorted the patient to the cath lab. Another ECG was recorded after the nitroglycerine and now without pain: All findings are resolved. The i nitial hs troponin I returned 75%.

Abstract 4113494: Gut Microbiota Modulation by Immunosuppression and Cardiac Cell Therapy in a Nonhuman Primate Ischemia/Reperfusion Model of Cardiac Regeneration

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4113494-A4113494, November 12, 2024. To elucidate this relationship, we investigated gut microbiota dynamics in response to immunosuppression and cell therapy in a nonhuman primate (NHP) cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (IR) model, with controlled genetic, dietary, and environmental factors.
