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...

salinomycin is a monocarboxylic polyether ionophore with antimicrobial properties. it is a dietaryadditive used as a growth promoter for ruminants and as a coccidiostat in chickens. the mechanism of actionof ionophores at the cellular level is to selectively bind certain ions creating intra and extracellularbiochemical disturbances. clinical signs of ionophore intoxication are non specific and ...

introduction: recent studies have shown acute cardioprotective effects of cyclosporine. the aim of the present study was to determine the protective role of cyclosporine on the model simulated the rotational nodal arrhythmia (avnrt) by using extracellular field potential recordings of isolated atrioventricular-node (av-node) of rabbit. methods: this study was performed on isolated double-perfus...

introduction: inhibition of renin angiotensin system represents an important approach in the management of cardiovascular diseases. the aim of this study was to explore the effects of pretreatment with non-hypotensive dose of angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) inhibitor, ramiprilat and angiotensin type 1 (at1) receptor blocker, losartan on myocardial infarct size and arrhythmias in a rat model...
