Myocardial Infarction After High-Dose Catecholamine Application-A Case Report From an Experimental Imaging Study.

ABSTRACT: Although heart failure following myocardial infarction (MI) represents a major health burden, underlying microstructural and functional changes remain incompletely understood. Here, we report on a case of unexpected MI after treatment with the catecholamine isoproterenol in an experimental imaging study in mice using different state-of-the-art imaging modalities. The decline in cardiac function was documented by ultrahigh-frequency echocardiography and speckle-tracking analyses. Myocardial microstructure was studied ex vivo at a spatial resolution of 100 × 100 × 100 ?m³ using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) and histopathologic analyses. Two weeks after ISO treatment, the animal showed an apical aneurysm accompanied by reduced radial strain in corresponding segments and impaired global systolic function. DT-MRI revealed a loss of contractile fiber tracts together with a disarray of remaining fibers as corresponding microstructural correlates. This preclinical case report provides valuable insights into pathophysiology and morphologic-functional relations of heart failure following MI using emerging imaging technologies.

Project description:AimImaging mass cytometry (IMC) affords simultaneous immune-labelling/imaging of multiple antigens in the same tissue. Methods utilizing multiplex data beyond co-registration are lacking. This study developed and applied an innovative spatial analysis workflow for multiplex imaging data to IMC data determined from cardiac tissues and revealed the mechanism(s) of neutrophil-mediated post-myocardial-infarction damage.MethodsIMC produced multiplex images with various redox/inflammatory markers. The cardiac peri-infarct zone (PIZ) was determined to be up to 240 µm from the infarct border based on the presence of neutrophils. The tissue region beyond the infarct was defined as the remote area (RA). ImageJ was used to quantify the immunoreactivity. Functional assessments included infarct size, cell necro/apoptosis, total thiol assay and echocardiogram.ResultsExpression of damage markers decreased in order from the infarct area to PIZ and then RA, reflecting the neutrophil density in the regions. Concentrically spaced "shoreline contour analysis" around the cardiac infarct extending into the PIZ showed that immunoreactivity for damage markers decreased linearly with increasing distance from the infarct, concomitant with a decreasing neutrophil-myeloperoxidase (MPO) gradient from the infarct to the PIZ. Stratifying by concentric bands around individual MPO+ -signal identified that the immunoreactivity of haem-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and phosphorylated-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (pP38) peaked near neutrophils. Furthermore, spatial dependence between neutrophils and markers of cardiac cellular damage was confirmed by nearest-neighbour distance analysis. Post-infarction tissue exhibited declined functional parameters that were associated with neutrophil migration from the infarct to PIZ.ConclusionThis image-based quantitative protocol revealed the spatial association and provided potential molecular pathways responsible for neutrophil-mediated damage post-infarction.
