Instantaneous and delayed ventricular arrhythmias after reperfusion of acutely ischemic myocardium: evidence for multiple mechanisms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To characterize the electrophysiologic properties of the ventricular arrhythmias occurring during reperfusion after acute coronary artery ligation, a study was undertaken to correlate the time course of appearance of such arrhythmias with specific electrophysiologic mechanisms. Thirty-seven dogs survived 30minute ligations of the left descending coronary artery, and all had either instantaneous (onset at 0-1 minute)

Reperfusion injury and its pharmacologic modification.
Reperfusion injury includes a spectrum of events, such as reperfusion arrhythmias, vascular damage and no-reflow, and myocardial functional stunning. The concept of reperfusion injury remains controversial with many proposed mechanisms when applied to humans, whereas in animal models, there are two main proposed mechanisms: calcium over-load and formation of oxygen free radicals. To prove that ...
متن کاملElectrophysiologic and antiarrhythmic actions of nadolol: acute ischemia in the presence of previous myocardial infarction.
The actions of the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, d,l-nadolol, were examined in anesthetized dogs subjected to circumflex coronary artery ligation in the presence of previous anterior myocardial infarction. With circumflex ligation, control dogs (N = 18) developed premature ventricular beats and ventricular tachycardia, followed by ventricular fibrillation (N = 16, 89%). Immediate arrhyth...
متن کاملEffects of Acetyl-L-Carnitine on Cardiac Arrhythmias and Infarct Size in Ischemic-Reperfused Isolated Rat Heart
Objective(s) This study aimed to examine whether acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) was able to reduce cardiac arrhythmias and infarct size in the ischemic-reperfused isolated rat heart. Materials and Methods The isolated hearts were mounted on a Langendorff apparatus then perfused by a modified Krebs-Henseleit solution during 30 min regional ischemia and 120 min reperfusion (control) or by enriched K...
متن کاملRationale of therapy in the patient with acute myocardial infarction and life-threatening arrhythmias: a focus on bretylium.
Experimental evidence suggests a number of pathologic and electrophysiologic mechanisms that may help initiate ventricular arrhythmias accompanying myocardial ischemia and infarction. Early and late phase events are associated with reentry or an enhancement of focal mechanisms, or both. These can initiate ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), or both. The presence of di...
متن کاملLiver ischemia preconditions the heart against ischemia-reperfusion arrhythmias
Objective(s):This study aimed to examine the hypothesis that an antiarrhythmic effect might be obtained by ischemic preconditioning of the liver, and also to characterize the potential underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were anesthetized by thiopental sodium (50 mg/kg, IP) followed by IV injection of heparin (250 IU). Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) was induce...
