Three-fourths of cardiac arrest survivors die prior to hospital discharge or suffer significant neurological injury. Excepting therapeutic hypothermia and revascularization, no novel therapies have been developed that improve survival or cardiac and neurological function after resuscitation. Nitrite (NO2−) increases cellular resilience to focal ischemia-reperfusion injury in multiple organs. We hypothesized that nitrite therapy may improve outcomes after the unique global ischemia-reperfusion insult of cardiopulmonary arrest. We developed a mouse model of cardiac arrest characterized by 12-minutes of normothermic asystole and a high cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rate. In this model, global ischemia and CPR was associated with blood and organ nitrite depletion, reversible myocardial dysfunction, impaired alveolar gas exchange, neurological injury and an approximate 50% mortality. A single low dose of intravenous nitrite (50 nmol=1.85 μmol/kg=0.13 mg/kg) compared to blinded saline placebo given at CPR initiation with epinephrine improved cardiac function, survival and neurological outcomes. From a mechanistic standpoint, nitrite treatment restored intracardiac nitrite and increased S-nitrosothiol levels, decreased pathological cardiac mitochondrial oxygen consumption due to reactive oxygen species formation and prevented oxidative enzymatic injury via reversible specific inhibition of respiratory chain complex I. Nitrite therapy after resuscitation from 12-minutes of asystole rapidly and reversibly modulated mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation during early reperfusion, limiting acute cardiac dysfunction and death, as well as neurological impairment in survivors.
