Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) is an irreversible injury or subsequent necrosis of myocardial cells due to interruption of blood supply to a part of the heart.The present study was designed to compare the benificial therapeutic effects of nebivolol and lisinopril on the progression of myocardial infarction in a rat model of isoprenaline induced acute myocardial infarction. Animals were classified intonormal control group (received normal saline), Myocardial infarcted group (s.c injection ofisoprenaline at a dose of 150mg/kg/day diluted in 2ml of saline on two consecutive days with an interval of 24 hours between application, Nebivolol treated infarcted group(0.5mg/kg p.o.) once daily for 4 weeks after induction of MI, Lisinopril treated infarcted group (20mg/kg p.o.) once daily for 4 weeks after induction of MI. The obtained results in the current work revealed that induction of myocardial infarction by isoprenaline resulted in significant increase heart rate, decrease mean arterial blood pressure and increase T-wave voltageat the end of the study, while administration of nebivolol and lisinopril to myocardial infarcted rats for 4 weeks resulted in decrease of heart rate, decrease mean arterial blood pressure, decrease in T-wave voltageand improved histopathological changes of heart as compared to infarcted untreated rats. Conclusively:Administration of Nebivolol and lisinopril immediately afteroccurance of acute myocardial infarction prevent progression of the disease and improve pathological changes occurred in the heart. INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases cause 12 million deaths throughout the world each year, according to the third monitoring report of the World Health Organization (Gharacholou et al., 2011). Risk factors for CAD include smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, mental stress and depression.The major cause of acute myocardial infarction is coronary atherosclerosis with superimposed luminal thrombus, which accounts for more than 80 percent of all infarcts. Myocardial infarctions resulting from non atherosclerotic diseases of the coronary arteries are rare (Ohtani et al., 2006). Disruption of plaques is considered to underlie most acute coronary syndrome (Boersma et al, 2003). Nebivolol has been shown to have protective effects in experimental models of experimental ischemia and reperfusion injury (Vandeplassche et al., 1991). In humans, it was shown that administration of nebivolol, as compared with atenolol, more effectively improves exercise tolerance and time to onset of angina during exercise test (Van Bortel et al., 1992). Nebivolol and carvedilol have been shown to increase coronary flow reserve in patients with ischemic heart disease and non ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy more consistently than other β-blockers,which is expected to be associated with a clinically relevant reduction in ischemic threshold (Galderisi et al., 2008).It has been suggested that early beta-blocker treatment decreases myocardial oxygen consumption, favorably influences coronary blood flow, reduces infarct size and improvements in ejection fraction (Halkin et al., 2004). Studies with nebivolol have showed that cardio-protective effects were not only mediated by their adrenergic receptor blocker activity, but also by other mechanisms such as antioxidant activity and anti-neutrophil effects (Yang et al., 2003 and Celik et al., 2006).The mechanism by which lisinopril improves the outcome following an acute MI involves reduced peripheral vascular resistance, improved perfusion and a direct action on the myocardium. Addition of an ACE inhibitor within the initial 24 hour period after an acute MI, attenuates LV dilatation, improves perfusion and inhibition of angiotensin II production reduces the workload on the heart, and inhibits collagen production (Maki Urushihara and Hiroyuki Kobori, 2011).ACE inhibitors reduce ischaemic events, mortality and hospital admissions (heart failure or further MI) in this group of patients. There is good evidence to suggest that they should be started early (Pedrazzini et al., 2008). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Myocardial infarction was induced in rats by subcutaneous injection of isoprenaline at a dose of 150mg/kg/day diluted in 2ml of saline on two consecutive days with an interval of 24 hours between application. Animal groups: each group contained 6 rats. Group (I): Normal control group (given saline only). Group (II): Myocardial infarction group. Myocardial infarction induced by subcutaneous injection of Isoprenaline at a dose of 150mg/kg/day diluted in 2ml of saline on two consecutive days with an interval of 24 hours between application (Lobo Filho et al., 2011).Group (III):Nebivolol treated infracted group: The rats of this group given nebivolol at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg p.o. once daily for 4 weeks after 2 days of administration of isoprenaline (Mercanoğlu et al., 2010).Group (IV):Lisinopril treated infracted group: The rats of this group given Lisinopril at a dose of 20 mg/kg p.o. once daily for 4 weeks after 2 days of administration of isoprenaline(Christian et al., 1996). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS All values were expressed as mean ± S.D. Data were statistically analyzed using one way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison tests. The p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS: Effect of nebivolol versus lisinopril on myocardial infarction parameters in rats after 4 weeks. Data in table (1) show that untreated infarcted group resulted in significant increase (489.3± 13.5) in HR in comparison to control group while nebivolol and lisinopril treated group show significant decrease (408.8±10.8and 424.6± 12.2) in HR in comparison to infracted untreated group.

Histopthological Examination: Sections were serially cut from the apex to the base at 1-mm intervals, deparaffinized and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). Control group showed clear integrity of myocardial membrane, normal cardiac fibers without any infraction or infiltration of inflammatory cells (Figure 1).Myocardial infarcted group showed significant increase of area of degenerative changes in the form of cardiac muscle necrosis with congested blood vessels, interstitial edema and inflammatory cells infiltration (Figure 2). While nebivololand lisinopril treated group showed decrease of this pathological changes (figure 3 and 4).

DISCUSSION Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined as irreversible injury or subsequent necrosis of myocardial cells due to interruption of blood supply to a part of the heart (Patel et al., 2010 and Upaganlawar et al., 2010). Current pharmacological treatment of MI is to control the neurohormonal activation with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and beta blockers has been shown to decrease mortality and morbidity by reducing remodeling (Rahko, 2005). The present study was designed to explore the benificial therapeutic effects of nebivolol and lisinopril on the progression of experimentally induced myocardial infraction in rats model with isoprenaline regarding to their effects on heart rate, T-wave voltage changes, mean arterial blood pressure and percent area of degenerative changes of the heart (histopathological changes of the heart). The obtained results in the current work revealed that induction of myocardial infarction by isoprenaline resulted in significant increase heart rate, decrease mean arterial blood pressure, increase T-wave voltage at the end of the study (after 4 weeks) in untreated infarcted group. These results are in agreement with Thippeswamy et al., (2009); Goyal et al., (2010) and Upaganlawar et al., (2010), who observed that ISO injected rats showed MI which is evident by significant fall in systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure and increase in heart rate. In the present study it was found that administration of nebivolol and lisinopril to myocardial infarcted rats for 4 weeks resulted in decrease of heart rate, decrease mean arterial blood pressure, decrease in T-wave voltage. These results are in agreement with Savsani et al., (2014), showed that ISO injected rats significantly decreased in DBP and MBP along with significantly increased in heart rate as compared to normal control rats. But nebivolol treatment significantly increased in MBP along with significantly decreased in heart rate as compared to ISO injected rats. Mercanoğlu et al., (2010), observed that treatment of MI in a rat with ischemia-reperfusion model with nebivolol significantly decrease heart rate and mean blood pressure. Rosei et al., (2003) showed that nebivolol was slightly more effective, in comparison with lisinopril, in terms of reduction in DBP. This greater efficacy was obtained without any increase in adverse effects, since both treatments were equally well tolerated. Wollert et al., (1994), observed that treatment of infarcted rats with lisinopril showed decrease of both heart rate and blood pressure. And these results is in line with Veeravalli et al., (2003), who observed that treatment of infarcted rat model of acute ischemia and perfusion with lisinopril alone or in combination with apstatin decreased blood pressure and heart rate. But Ahmad et al., (2008) showed that administration of lisinopril for 4 weeks after MI produced minor effect in MBP and significant decrease HR. One study in patients with heart failure and angina indicated that ACEI treatment may worsen ischemia, because of the hypotension that compromises myocardial perfusion (Cleland et al., 1991). Regarding ECG changes, the results of the present study revealed that, infarcted untreated group showed significant increase in T-wave voltage. These results are in agreement with those of Surawicz (1974) who reported that the "T" wave was elevated in rats after coronary ischemia. The ECG tracing showed sinus tachycardia in addition to the injury current in form of highly peaked T-wave. These results were in agreement with the observation of El-Hawary et al. (1988). These results are in agreement with Björck et al. (2010), who showed that use of aspirin, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, or statins before hospital admission in patients with a first acute MI is associated with substantially less risk of presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Savsani et al., (2014), showed that nebivolol treatment in isoproterenol treated rats prevented the altered ECG pattern towards normal suggesting the cell membrane stabilizing potential of nebivolol which might be due to its potent antioxidant property. The mechanism of benefit from beta-blocker therapy in STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infraction) is still unclear. It has been suggested that early beta-blocker treatment decreases myocardial oxygen consumption, favorably influences coronary blood flow, reduces infarct size and improvements in ejection fraction (Halkin et al., 2004). Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system modulation with ACEIs reduces early and late mortality in STEMI patients even in the absence of a reperfusion strategy (Marc Cohen et al., 2010). As regard to histopathological changes in the heart it was found that treatment of infarcted rats with nebivolol and lisinopril showed improvement these changes. Savsani et al., (2014), who showed that treatment of infarcted rats with nebivolol induce improvement in histopathological changes of the heart produced in infracted untreated group in the form of decrease infiltration of inflammatory cells and the morphology of cardiac muscle fibers was relatively well preserved with decrease of necrosis. Connelly et al., (2013), showed that histologic analysis demonstrated increased extracellular matrix deposition in the noninfarct, subendocardial region of all MI groups when compared with sham operated animals. ACEi significantly reduced matrix deposition. cardiomyocyte size was increased in MI animals and significantly decrease with ACEi therapy. In post-myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure studies, the benefit from beta1 blockade arises from decreased work of the heart (via reduced HR and blood pressure), reduced ventricular fibrillation risk, and a reduction in catecholamine-induced (beta-1) cardiac necrosis and apoptosis; thus, intrinsic sympathomimetic activity reduces efficacy (Podbregar and Voga, 2002). Studies with nebivolol have showed that cardio-protective effects were not only mediated by their adrenergic receptor blocker activity, but also by other mechanisms such as antioxidant activity and anti-neutrophil effects (Yang et al., 2003). Favorable effects of nebivolol on ventricular function in patients with chronic heart failure have been reported (Edes et al., 2005 and Kurlianskaya et al., 2005). The mechanism by which lisinopril improves the outcome following an acute MI involves reduced peripheral vascular resistance, improved perfusion and a direct action on the myocardium. Addition of an ACE inhibitor within the initial 24 hour period after an acute MI, attenuates LV dilatation, improves perfusion and inhibition of angiotensin II production reduces the workload on the heart, and inhibits collagen production (Maki Urushihara and Hiroyuki Kobori, 2011).
