@entity1 @entity6331 @entity8862 @entity712 @entity1025 @entity8863 @entity63 @entity1188 @entity299 @entity141 @entity583 @entity3697 @entity22293 @entity2401
The importance of metals in normal and pathologic cardiovascular function has been recognized. Significant derangements in myocardial @entity141 , @entity1025 , and @entity8863 have been reported in @entity3697 . We studied 3 groups of hearts: 1) fifteen specimens obtained from @entity1 who had no @entity299 , 2) nine specimens from @entity1 who had expired from @entity299 , and 3) ten specimens from @entity1 who had expired from @entity6331 with @entity2401 and severe @entity712 . None of the @entity1 had undergone cardiac surgery. Left ventricular lateral wall @entity1025 , @entity141 , @entity8863 , and @entity8862 contents were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. The results showed a significant decrease in myocardial @entity1025 (Group I 177.06 +/- 32.71; Group II 155.66 +/- 14.79; Group III 149.00 +/- 13.29, p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.01, respectively), and @entity8863 contents (Group I 3.22 +/- 0.37; Group II 2.94 +/- 0.22; Group III 2.56 +/- 0.32, p less than 0.02 and p less than 0.001, respectively), and a rise in myocardial @entity141 content (Group I 36.06 +/- 10.72; Group II 43.22 +/- 7.01; Group III 46.30 +/- 4.85, p = not significant, and p less than 0.01, respectively). The myocardial @entity8862 content did not change significantly (Group I 26.53 +/- 3.99; Group II 26.00 +/- 4.15; Group III 26.40 +/- 3.53). The myocardial @entity1025 / @entity141 ratio was reduced markedly in both groups (Group I 5.328 +/- 1.879; Group II 3.685 +/- 0.735; Group III 3.135 +/- 0.291, p less than 0.001 for both Groups II and III vs Group I). The latter results correlated closely with the myocardial @entity1025 / @entity141 ratios reported in experimental models in peri- @entity1188 zones. Thus, the myocardium of @entity1 who had expired from @entity299 and @entity22293 is jeopardized by @entity63 , with metal contents similar to the border areas in @entity583 .
