Metabolic risk factors associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) during acute myocardial ischemia
2017
ABSTRACTSudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Myocardial ischemia (MI) is the most common underlying causal disorder for SCD. Metabolic risks leading to SCD during acute MI are still not fully understood. Here, using tissue metabolomics, we aimed to investigate myocardial metabolic alterations relevant to SCD events in an acute MI rat model induced by coronary artery ligation (CAL). Thirty-four rats were successfully performed CAL, of which 13 developed lethal ventricular tachyarrhythmia (LVTA)-SCD and 7 developed severe atrioventricular block (AB)-SCD. Fourteen rats that survived within 70 min after the ligation were served as peer controls. The partial least squares-discriminant analysis plots demonstrated clear separations between the SCD rats and controls, indicating obvious differences in myocardial metabolome between these rats. The levels of isoleucine, lactate, glutamate choline, phosphorylcholine, taurine and asparagine in ischemic myocardia were positively associate...
