Heptanol decreases the incidence of ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias through altering electrophysiological properties and connexin 43 in rat hearts
Heptanol is a type of gap junction inhibitor that decreases electrical conduction velocity. However, little is known regarding the effects of heptanol on the arrhythmias induced by regional myocardial ischemia. This study aimed to investigate the effects of heptanol on ventricular arrhythmias and the underlying mechanisms. On the Langendorff apparatus, isolated hearts of Sprague-Dawley rats und...
متن کاملEffect of gallic acid on electrophysiological properties and ventricular arrhythmia following chemical-induced arrhythmia in rat
Objective(s): Ventricular arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the most important causes of mortality rate. Gallic acid (GA) has beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of GA on electrophysiological parameters such as QRS complex, heart rate (HR), PR interval pa...
متن کاملDifferential effects of propofol and sevoflurane on ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias and phosphorylated connexin 43 protein in rats.
BACKGROUND The effects of anesthetics on ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias remain poorly studied. This study investigated the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on the survival rate and morbidity as a result of ventricular arrhythmias, and defined a possible mechanism for the arrhythmogenic properties of anesthetics during acute myocardial ischemia. METHODS Under anesthesia with intra...
متن کاملProtective effect of pharmacologic postconditioning with Natural Honey against left ventricular ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in isolated heart of rat
Introduction: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of postconditioning by natural honey on cardiac arrhythmias in the ischemic isolated rat heart. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups then anesthetized by sodium pentobarbital. The animal hearts were removed and quickly mounted on a Langendorff apparatus and perfused under constant pressure by a modified Krebs-H...
متن کاملEffects of ischemic preconditioning on ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias by upregulatation of connexin 43 expression
BACKGROUND The susceptibility of hypertrophied myocardium to ischemia-reperfusion injury is associated with increased risk of postoperative arrhythmias. We investigate the effects of ischemic preconditioning (IP) on post-ischemic reperfusion arrhythmias in hypertrophic rabbit hearts. METHODS Thirty-three rabbit models of myocardial hypertrophy were randomly divided into three groups of 11 eac...
