Abstract

The effects of KB-R7943 (2-[2-[4-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)phenyl]ethyl]isothiourea methanesulfonate) on major ion transporters were studied in canine cardiac sarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic reticular vesicles. KB-R7943 inhibited the Na+/Ca2+ exchange more potently than the Na+/H+ exchange, the Na+/K(+)-ATPase and the Ca2(+)-ATPase. The effects of KB-R7943 on ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury were studied in isolated rat perfused hearts in comparison with those of diltiazem and lidocaine. In normal hearts, diltiazem (10 microM) and lidocaine (100 microM) markedly reduced contractile function, but KB-R7943 (1, 10 microM) had no such effect. In the hearts subjected to 25-min ischemia and 30-min reperfusion, KB-R7943 concentration-dependently and significantly improved post-ischemic recovery of left ventricular developed pressure, left ventricular dP/dtmax and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure by pre-ischemic treatment (5 min) or post-ischemic treatment (10 min). Diltiazem and lidocaine showed similar improvement of recovery by pre-ischemic treatment, but they had no effect by post-ischemic treatment. Furthermore, the effect of KB-R7943 on arrhythmia was studied in anesthetized rats subjected to 5-min cardiac ischmeia and 10-min repe...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.
