Atrial electrophysiology in experimental hyperthyroidism in rabbits.
Male rabbits received Z-thyroxine (250 /xg/kg) subcutaneously for 7 days and exhibited marked tachycardia, elevation of protein-bound iodine levels and a 26$ mean weight loss. Their hearts were isolated and perfused by die Langendorff technique. In 8 thyroid-treated rabbits the mean heart rate before they were killed and also after 30 minutes of perfusion was much higher than that of 10 control...
متن کاملVerapamil in atrial fibrillation in hyperthyroidism.
Very low energy diets have been used clinically as an aid to weight loss in gross obesity.' The recent more general availability ofsuch diets has enabled them to be used without medical supervision by people with moderate to minimal obesity. The present case illustrates an interesting though rare manifestation of very low energy intake; indeed, low energy, low carbohydrate diets were advocated ...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation and Hyperthyroidism*
Atrial fibrillation occurs in 10 - 15% of patients with hyperthyroidism. Low serum thyrotropin concentration is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Thyroid hormone contributes to arrythmogenic activity by altering the electrophysiological characteristics of atrial myocytes by shortening the action potential duration, enhancing automaticity and triggered activity in the pulmonary...
متن کاملThe mechanisms of atrial fibrillation in hyperthyroidism
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex condition with several possible contributing factors. The rapid and irregular heartbeat produced by AF increases the risk of blood clot formation inside the heart. These clots may eventually become dislodged, causing embolism, stroke and other disorders. AF occurs in up to 15% of patients with hyperthyroidism compared to 4% of people in the general populati...
متن کاملExperimental atherosclerosis in rabbits.
Many researches have been conducted in experimental models in order to study the development of atherosclerosis from hyperlipidemia-inducing diets. Since rabbits are very sensitive to cholesterol-rich diets and accumulate large amounts of cholesterol in their plasma, their use as experimental models to evaluate the development of atherosclerosis is highly relevant and brings information on fact...
