Increased inducibility of ventricular tachycardia and decreased heart rate variability in a mouse model for type 1 diabetes: effect of pravastatin.
Although a reduction in the high-frequency (HF) component of heart rate variability (HRV) is a major complication of diabetes and a risk factor for sudden death, its relationship to ventricular tachycardia (VT) is unknown. We developed a mouse model for the study of VT and its relationship to changes in HRV in the Akita type 1 diabetic mouse. Programmed ventricular stimulation of anesthetized m...
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...
متن کاملPredicting the effect of D,L-sotalol on ventricular tachycardia inducibility from the RR variability response.
AIM To find a rapid way of identifying non-responders to D, L-sotalol in patients with ventricular tachycardia. METHODS Programmed ventricular stimulation and RR variability were studied in the control state and 10 days after treatment with 160 to 320 mg of D,L-sotalol in 36 consecutive patients with ventricular tachycardia. RESULTS In 14 patients (group I) D,L-sotalol suppressed ventricula...
متن کاملThe effect of high-intensity interval training on the expression of protein kinase B (Akt gene) in the left ventricle of male rats with type 2 diabetes
Introduction: The term diabetes heart in diabetic patients includes pathologic left ventricular hypertrophy. Stimulation of the signaling and molecular pathways of cardiac myocardial remodeling through exercise in this regard can be considered as a therapeutic strategy for physiological development of the left ventricle. In the present study, the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval tra...
