The effect of coronary vein sinus occlusion to cardiomyocytes

Objective To investigate the effect of coronary vein sinus occlusion to cardiomyocytes. Methods Fourteen healthy dogs grouped into the experiment and the contrast randomly, each group had 7 dogs. All dogs received chest open operation. Scatheless slide wire was used to ligate coronary vein sinus at where nearest the orifce of coronary vein sinus from epicardium. Cardiac histology was investigated from electron macroscope and optical macroscope at the end of the experiment 2hours after the ligation. To test the vein blood cTnI concentration after 1 hour and 2 hours ligation. In the contrast group, coronary vein sinus was not ligated. Results In the experiment group, myofibril interstitiual edema, part of myofibril dissolved, myolemma of myocardial disrepaired, mitochondre edema and edemaarround nucleolus were observed from electron macroscope. Atrophy of myocardium,hyperemia and hemorrhage in interstistial vascular and myocardial interstitiual edema were observed from optical macroscope;cTnI did not have significent changes between it before ligation and 1 hour after ligation and 2 hours after ligation( all P ＞ 0.05 ) both in the experiment group and in the contrast group. Conclusions Coronary vein sinus occlusion damaged cardiomyocytes,lead to atrophy of cardiomyocytes and finally result to significent effect to cardiac configuration.
