Effect of Quinldine and Pronethalol on Acetylstrophanthidin-lnduced Ventricular Arrhythmia in Cats Treated with Reserpine
نویسنده
چکیده
With pronethalol, quinidine, and reserpine it was necessary to increase the dose of acetylstrophanthidin which produced arrhythmia in combination with vagal stimulation. However, in reserpine-treated animals, quinidine and pronethalol were ineffective. The capability of large doses of acetylstrophanthidin to produce ventricular arrhythmia was not diminished by quinidine, pronethalol, or reserpine. While pronethalol decreased the S-A nodal rate in normal animals, it failed to produce an effect on rate after reserpine pretreatment. Since after catecholamine depletion by reserpine, pronethalol and quinidine did not affect acetylstrophanthidin-induced ventricular arrhythmia, it is suggested that the antidigitalis effect of these agents is related to their actions to diminish adrenergic nervous activity.

متن کاملEffects of hypothermia and pronethalol on ionic correlates of ouabain arrhythmias in dogs.
The ionic basis of ventricular arrhythmias induced by a cardiac glycoside was studied in pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs. The effects of ouabain alone and in combination with hypothermia or pronethalol on myocardial and plasma Na and K were determined. Hypothermia (26°C) and pronethalol (15 mg/kg, iv) had similar effects on the standard lead II of the ECG, i.e., a decrease in heart rate and inc...
متن کاملPost-countershock arrhythmias in untreated and digitalized dogs.
Recent studies suggest that countershock can stimulate cardiac autonomic nerves and that the resulting release of norepinephrine contributes to postcountershock (PCS) arrhythmias. /J-Adrenergic receptor blocking agents, reserpine, cocaine, and cardiac-denervated preparations were used to evaluate this hypothesis in dogs under pentobarbital anesthesia. The suitability of the dog as an experiment...
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 کاملEllagic acid improved arrhythmias induced by CaCL2 in the rat stress model
Objective: In ventricular arrhythmias, due to their free radical scavenging action, antioxidant agents are usually used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Since stress is considered as risk factor for increased mortality by causing malignant arrhythmias, the study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of ellagic acid (EA) on CaCl2-induced arrhythmias in rat stress model...
