Abstract

Activation of muscarinic M(3) mucarinic acetylcholine receptors (M(3)-mAChRs) has been previously shown to confer short-term cardioprotection against ischaemic injuries. However, it is not known whether activation of these receptors can provide delayed cardioprotection. Consequently, the present study was undertaken to investigate whether stimulation of M(3)-mAChRs can induce delayed preconditioning in rats, and to characterize the potential mechanism. Rats were pretreated (24 h), respectively, with M(3)-mAChRs agonist choline, M(3)-mAChRs antagonist 4-DAMP or M(2)-mAChRs antagonist methoctramine followed by the administration of choline. This was followed by 30 min of ischaemia and then 3 h of reperfusion. Ischaemia-induced arrhythmias and ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced infarction were determined. The phosphorylation status of connexin43 (Cx43) after 30 min ischaemia, and the expression level of Hsp70, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and iNOS effected by administration of choline were also measured. Compared to the control group, pretreatment with choline significantly decreased ischaemia-induced arrhythmias, reduced the total number of ventricular premature beats, the duration of ventricular tachycardia episodes and markedly re...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
