Аbout typical responses of the damaged heart

Abstract

On the basis of experimental research we described nine typical (nonspecific) responses of the damaged heart which are initially protective and adaptive but are able to have a pathogenetic character under some certain conditions. These typical responses are as follows: shortening of the effective refractory period of the myocardium, cardiomyocyte mitochondrion swelling, activation of lysosomal apparatus, initial intensification of lipolysis, hypertrophy of cardiac muscle, formation of collagen muffs around blood vessels due to intoxication, functional deafferentation of the heart, changes in the intensity of cardiomyocyte apoptosis, rearrangement of cardiac chronostructure. The represented results can be used as a basis to elaborate some new effective methods of prophilaxis and treatment of heart diseases caused by different etiological factors.
