Serum enzyme activities after cardioversion

Serum enzyme activities after cardioversion.

Serum aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (SGPT), creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), and butyric acid dehydrogenase (BDH) were determined in 94 patients before, 1(1/2) hours, and 24 hours after cardioversion. An increase in SGOT and CPK activity was observed 24 hours after cardioversion in the group of patients treated with two or more DC shocks. The importance of this enzy...

Myoglobin concentrations and muscle-enzyme activities in serum after myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmia.

Sera from patients with myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmias were analyzed for myoglobin concentration and the activities of total creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme-2, and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-1 at the time of hospital admission and during the first few days of hospitalization. The nine patients with a final diagnosis of myocardial infarction had abnormally high val...

Resveratrol Provides Cardioprotection after Ischemia/reperfusion Injury via Modulation of Antioxidant Enzyme Activities

In this study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of resveratrol. Rats were intraperitoneally administered with resveratrol (25 mg/kg bw) or vehicle (ethanol 10%) for 7 days and their heart subjected to ischemia/reperfusion injury. Isolated hearts were langendorff perfused, left ventricular functions as heart rate and developed pressure, as well as, heart antioxidant status were deter...
