Myocardial microvascular permeability, interstitial oedema, and compromised cardiac function Dongaonkar RM; Stewart RH; Geissler HJ; Laine GACardiovasc Res 2010[Jul]; 87 (2): 331-9The heart, perhaps more than any other organ, is exquisitely sensitive to increases in microvascular permeability and the accumulation of myocardial interstitial oedema fluid. Whereas some organs can cope with profound increases in the interstitial fluid volume or oedema formation without a compromise in function, heart function is significantly compromised with only a few percent increase in the interstitial fluid volume. This would be of little consequence if myocardial oedema were an uncommon pathology. On the contrary, myocardial oedema forms in response to many disease states as well as clinical interventions such as cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest common to many cardiothoracic surgical procedures. The heart's inability to function effectively in the presence of myocardial oedema is further confounded by the perplexing fact that the resolution of myocardial oedema does not restore normal cardiac function. We will attempt to provide some insight as to how microvascular permeability and myocardial oedema formation compromise cardiac function and discuss the acute changes that might take place in the myocardium to perpetuate compromised cardiac function following oedema resolution. We will also discuss compensatory changes in the interstitial matrix of the heart in response to chronic myocardial oedema and the role they play to optimize myocardial function during chronic oedemagenic disease.|*Capillary Permeability[MESH]|*Ventricular Function[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Body Fluids/*metabolism[MESH]|Coronary Vessels/*metabolism/physiopathology[MESH]|Diagnostic Imaging/methods[MESH]|Edema, Cardiac/diagnosis/*metabolism/physiopathology[MESH]|Hemodynamics[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Microvessels/*metabolism/physiopathology[MESH]|Models, Cardiovascular[MESH]|Myocardial Contraction[MESH]|Myocardium/*metabolism[MESH]|Predictive Value of Tests[MESH]|Signal Transduction[MESH] |
