Abstract

To observe the effects of Lüfukang Capsules on arrhythmia induced by ligation of coronary artery in dogs. Thirty dogs were randomly divided into 5 groups, the model group administrated with equal volume of distilled water, the positive control group administrated with Wenxin Granules, and the small, medium and large dosage LFKC groups, 6 dogs in each group. Thirty minutes after medication, electrocardiogram was conducted and the time of arrhythmia occurrence, times of ventricular premature beat (VP), and incidence rates of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) were recorded in the model dogs with arrhythmia induced by ligation of coronary artery. Compared with the model group, the occurrence time of arrhythmia induced by the coronary artery ligation in the medium and large LFKC groups was significantly delayed (20.45 +/- 9.10 and 19.92 +/- 3.78, respectively, both P < 0.05). The frequency of VP in the medium and large LFKC groups was also significantly decreased (8.17 +/- 6.62 and 3.83 +/- 2.79, respectively, both P < 0.01). LFKC has anti-arrhythmic effects for the experimental arrhythmia induced by the ligation of coronary artery in dogs.

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.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.
