摘要: 心血管疾病仍然是围术期内导致患者死亡以及影响转归的重要因素。右美托咪定是α2肾上腺素受体激动剂,具有镇痛、镇静、抗焦虑等功能。总结右美托咪定在心肌缺血/再灌注损伤中不同种类的发现,并对其结果进行了相应机制的深入探讨。意在进一步阐明心脏疾病患者右美托咪定应用的潜在护心作用。Abstract: Cardiovascular disease remains a significant factor leading to patient mortality and influencing outcomes during the perioperative period. Dexmedetomidine is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist with functions such as analgesia, sedation, and anti-anxiety. This review summarizes various types of findings regarding dexmedetomidine in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and conducts in-depth discussions on the corresponding mechanisms of the results, aiming to further clarify the potential cardioprotective effects of dexmedetomidine in patients with heart diseases.
