Use of a calcium chelating agent (NaEDTA) in cardiac arrhythmias.

چکیده
The interrelated effects of digitalis and various cations on cardiac rhythmicity are the subject of much recent interest. This paper presents additional data on this subject that carry important therapeutic implications. The chelating agent, disodium ethylene diamine tetra acetate (NaEDTA), has been used intravenously in 14 instances of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia. Digitalis had been administered previously in 13 instances, and various degrees of digitalization were encountered. This report summarizes our experience with NaEDTA as a test of the degree of digitalis therapy and as treatment of the arrhythmias observed.

Cellular Mechanism of Intestinal Permeability Alterations Produced by Chelation Depletion
The absorption of phenolsulfonphthalein (phenol red) was used as a measure in vivo of intestinal permeability in anesthetized rats. A chelating agent, sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (NaEDTA), placed in the lumen evoked a fivefold increase in membrane permeability; at the same time the mucosal content of magnesium and calcium decreased significantly. Making either magnesium or calcium availa...
متن کاملComparison of Chelating Agents DMPS, DMSA and EDTA for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Metal Exposure
Aims: Several chelating agents are presently used among environmental physicians to diagnose and treat a chronic metal overexposure. We evaluated and compared the binding capacity of the most common chelating agents DMPS (2, 3-dimercapto-1propanesulfonic acid), DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), also called Succimer) and EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) for the potentially toxic metals Ant...
متن کاملFrequency of cardiac arrhythmias in high and low- yielding dairy cows
Electrocardiography (ECG) may be used to recognize cardiac disorders. Levels of milk production may change the serum electrolytes which its imbalance has a role in cardiac arrhythmia. Fifty high yielding and fifty low yielding Holstein dairy cows were used in this study. Electrocardiography was recorded by base-apex lead and blood samples were collected from jugular vein for measurement of seru...

متن کاملRole of Fructose as a Potent Antiarrhythmic and Anti-infarct agent in Isolated Rat Heart
In the current study, effects of acute short term administration of fructose on cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction size following ischemia/reperfusion were investigated in isolated rat heart. The hearts were subjected to 30 min zero flow global ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion. In the control group, the hearts were perfused by normal drug free Krebs-Henseleit (K/H) solution t...
