Free radicals in reperfusion-induced arrhythmias: study with EUK 8, a novel nonprotein catalytic antioxidant

Abstract

Oxyradicals have been implicated as a possible cause of postischemic reperfusion arrhythmias (RA). However, the ability of enzymatic scavengers such as superoxide dismutase and/or catalase to reduce RA remains controversial. The purpose of the present work was to determine whether a nonprotein catalytic antioxidant, EUK 8, may limit RA in isolated heart preparations. The catalytic dismutation of H2O2 by EUK 8 was demonstrated using a Clark electrode. EUK 8's ability to scavenge oxyradicals was studied in vitro by electron spin resonance (ESR) in presence of superoxide-anion generating system. ESR concentration-effect curves obtained led us to use EUK 8 at 50 mumol/l in isolated heart preparations. Isolated rat hearts were submitted to 10 min regional ischemia induced by left coronary artery ligation. Reperfusion was achieved by releasing the coronary ligation, and the incidence and duration of early ventricular arrhythmias were then investigated. In the treated-group, EUK 8 was added to the perfusion fluid (50 mumol/l) 90 s before reperfusion. Our results show that EUK 8 significantly reduced the severity of RA as assessed by the arrhythmia score measurement (control: 3.46 +/- 0.21 vs. EUK 8: 2.73 +/- 0.27, p < .05).

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.
