Severe arrhythmias occur predictably on reperfusion after 5 minutes of coronary occlusion in
the rat. There is little data available on whether ischemic preconditioning (PC) of hearts can …

To evaluate the effects of hypertension on cardiac hypertrophy, on myocardial structure, and
on ventricular arrhythmias, 27 3-month-old spontaneously hypertensive rats were treated …

Study objective–The aim was to investigate the role of platelet activating factor (paf) in
myocardial ischaemia by using BN 50739, a new specific paf receptor antagonist with a …

Rats were used to evaluate the antiarrhythmic properties of tedisamil, a novel agent with the
electrophysiological properties of a Class III antiarrhythmic drug. Tedisamil was tested …

The effect of dietary lipids upon the development of cardiac arrhythmias has been studied in
an animal model of Sudden Cardiac Death. Ischaemic arrhythmia in mature male rats was …

What is torsades de pointes? Is it an arrhythmia or a syndrome? The distinction is critical. In
this article I have attempted to explain why this is so. Both from the clinical and nonclinical …

Electrophysiological effects of lysophosphatidylcholine (50 or 100 μM) and D, L-carnitine
(100 μM) were studied under control conditions and in response to simulated ischaemia and …

It has been reported that agents having the ability to scavenge oxygen-derived free radicals
reduce the severity of ventricular arrhythmias that occur after brief coronary occlusion and …

Singlet oxygen and superoxide production by rose bengal photoactivation leads to rapid
electrophysiological changes and arrhythimias. To investigate which intermediate is …

The class Ic steroidal antiarrhythmic agent, Org 7797, was compared with two other Ic
agents, flecainide and propafenone for intravenous activity against ischaemia-related …
