2 Definitions Preconditioning: Repeated brief episodes of ischemia-reperfusion applied before a subsequent prolonged ischemic insult (1986) 1h appr h Postconditioning: Repeated brief episodes of ischemia-reperfusion applied at the onset of reperfusion following a previous prolonged (2003) ischemic insult

3 Ischaemic postconditioning revisited: lack of effects on infarct size following primary percutaneous coronary intervention Xavier Freixa*,et al., European Heart Journal (2012) 33, The use of pharmacological agents to emulate p-cond effects without requiring a mechanical intervention poses another alternative that would avoid the potential risk of embolization and allow a non-restricted aspiration sequence. Further studies will be required to know whether pharmacological strategies could have the same effect as mechanical p-conditioning trials. Reduction of infarct size by ischaemic post-conditioning in humans: fact or fiction? Gerd Heusch, European Heart Journal (2012) 33, In my view, the mechanical procedure of ischaemic post-conditioning may indeed not become broadly applicable to recruit protection in clinical routine. However, the recognition of its potential and a better understanding of its underlying signal transduction may provide an important paradigm for cardioprotection and its translation to clinical use of pharmacological interventions.

9 The mechanisms by which hyperlipidemia may blunt the cardioprotective effects of ischemic conditioning are not clear. Hypercholesterolemia impairs endothelial function reduces NO synthesis, potentially by increasing the production of several oxidants such as peroxynitrite and lipid peroxidation compounds. The expression and activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) synthesis may play a key role.

23 It seems that the attenuation of nitro-oxidative stress at reperfusion, although it may partly restore NO biovailability in hypercholesteromia, may not be a crucial mechanism in direct cardioprotection. Thus, the latter may be related to the varying degrees of activation or phosphorylation of the intracellular mediators.

24

25 It seems that pravastatin unlike simvastatin and the other statins has the potential to interact with the endothelium with a unique manner This may partly be related to the high 45% unbound fraction of pravastatin sodium in plasma, which may interact actively with the endothelium and activate the enos/akt signalling cascade.

26 J Am Coll Cardiol Jan;33(1): Pravastatin sodium activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase independent of its cholesterol-lowering actions. Kaesemeyer WH, Caldwell RB, Huang J, Caldwell RW. We determined PRA and SIM effects on vasorelaxation in aortic rings and NO production by cultured bovine aortic endothelial cel Both PRA and SIM activate enos, but SIM is much less effective. Clinical benefits with PRA not explained by LDL reductions may be the result of an independent action of PRA on enos activation.

27 CONCLUSIONS 1. PostC reduce final infarct size under normal conditions, but its infarct size limiting effect is blunted in hypercholesterolemia and atheromatosis. 2. The increase of the reduced bioavailability of NO may restore PostC s infarct size limiting effect in hypercholesterolemia. 3. Pravastatin in contrast to simvastatin, reduces infarct size and restores postconditioning-conferred cardiorpotection in hypercholesterolemic rabbits independently of lipid lowering, potentially through Akt/eNOs activation and greater nitrooxidative stress attenuation.
