Abstract:
Objective To establish rat heart failure(HF)model following myocardial infarction(MI)and then detect the possible cytokines expression levels at different HF groups,so to explore the development of cytokines levels during the progression of heart failure.Methods The model was established by ligature of the left descending coronary artery.The rats were assessed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization before and after 4 and 16 weeks following coronary ligature.Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were determined.Results ①Serum cytokines could not be detectable in sham group using ELISA Methods,while in operated group,the concentration of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly higher,especially IL-6.②The diagnosis coincidence between echocardiography and hemodynamics was high.Echocardiography can be used as an invasive measure to assess cardiac function in rat heart failure models.Conclusion ①Cytokines content is higher in compensated compared with the other two groups,especially to the IL-6 expression.②Cardiac ultrasound can be used as a useful method in monitoring postinfarction heart failure rat model,especially as an invasive measure.It can provide us successive data of the model.
