Evaluation of protein changes of the myocardium in acute ischemia according to the immunohistochemical study
Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the developed countries; accordingly the study of various aspects of this disorder is a crucial medico-biological task. Cardiac muscle of the left ventricle taken from 37 individuals suddenly deceased from acute forms of ischemic heart disease (as a result of acute coronary insufficiency and acute myocardial infarction at prenecrotic stage) served as the material for the conducted study. The control group included the cardiac muscles taken from 5 individuals deceased from traumatic brain injury. Besides light and polarized investigation of myocardial sections the immunohistochemical analysis, permitting to evaluate the intensity of cellular protein expression: actin, desmin, connexin 43, was used. The use of immunohistochemical staining of the cardiac muscle allows assessing the status of the macromolecular structure of the myocardium by the expression of actin, desmin and connexin 43 and can be applied for morphological diagnostics of acute focal myocardial injuries in forensic-medical or pathological practice in cases of sudden cardiac death.
