Abstract

The effects of intraperitoneal (ip) administration of chlordimeform (CDM) were investigated in 22- to 24-d-old pentobarbital-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals (n = 32) received a single ip injection of CDM at either 10, 30, or 60 mg/kg, or of normal saline vehicle. Heart rate (HR) and electrocardiogram (ECG) were monitored for all animals, while body temperature was maintained at control levels (37 degrees C). HR decreased 21-29% in the treated animals, and there were no differences observed across dose groups or over time. ECG effects were confined to rate-related changes only. The decrease in HR produced by CDM in these animals was comparable to the delayed HR effect seen in previous studies from this laboratory, despite major differences in dosing regimens and routes of administration.

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.
