چکیده

The effect of drugs and ions upon the normal heart and upon isolated myocardium has been thoroughly investigated and adequately documented. Increased interest in the application of these substances in a manner which approaches the abnormal clinical situation-that is, following coronary artery occlusion and in various arrythmias-has been demonstrated during the past few years. The stimulus for this recent investigative trend has come primarily from three sources: (1) Fibrillation following coronary artery occlusion and the efforts to devise means of permanently increasing collateral blood supply to the myocardium; (2) Cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation during surgery; and (3) Ventricular fibrillation during hypothermia. This report concerns experimental myocardial ischemia produced by acute coronary artery occlusion, the influence of drugs and inorganic ions on survival rates and early fibrillation and the influence on certain ions upon other ions.

Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Its Risk Factors in Shiraz, Iran during 2017-18

Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common disorientations after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and can affect the chance of survival in the first year after surgery. The present study aimed to determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and its risk factors.   Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on...

HYPOVENTILATION PRIOR TO ISCHEMIA PRECONDITIONS RAT MYOCARDIUM

Repetitive episodes of brief regional ischemia have been shown to reduce the severity of life-threatening ventricular anhythrnias and infarct size that occur during prolonged occlusion of the coronary artery. This phenomenon is known as ischemic preconditioning. During studies in anesthetized, open chest Wistar rats, we accidentally observed that poorly ventilated animals had a reduced seve...

Effects of NS-2, a new class 1 antiarrhythmic agent, and AFD-19, its active metabolite, on ventricular arrhythmias induced by coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion in anesthetized rats: comparison with disopyramide and mexiletine.

We studied the antiarrhythmic effects of NS-2 (4-diisobutylamino-1,1-diphenyl-1-butanol maleate) and AFD-19 (active metabolite of NS-2) on early stage ventricular arrhythmias induced by coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion in anesthetized male rats. These effects were compared with those of disopyramide and mexiletine. Drugs were intravenously administered either before or after coronary o...

HMR 1883, a novel cardioselective inhibitor of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel. Part II: effects on susceptibility to ventricular fibrillation induced by myocardial ischemia in conscious dogs.

The activation of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) during myocardial ischemia leads to potassium efflux, reductions in action potential duration and the formation of ventricular fibrillation (VF). Drugs that inactivate KATP should prevent these changes and thereby prevent VF. However, most KATP antagonists also alter pancreatic channels, which promote insulin release and hypoglycemia....

Reperfusion arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death: a century of progress toward an understanding of the mechanisms.

The observation that ventricular fibrillation may occur within seconds after restoration of blood flow to myocardium turned ischemic by a period of coronary occlusion (reperfusion) was originally made in the experimental laboratory in the 19th century by Cohnheim and Von Schulthess-Rechberg1 and later confirmed in the early 20th century by Tennant and Wiggers.2 In fact, it was found in subseque...
