Abstract

The effect of fructose-1, 6-diphosphate (200 mg/kg), cytochrome C (20 mg/kg) and their combinations on the size of the zone of necrosis 4 and 72 h after 15-min transitory myocardial ischemia was studied. Combination of the compounds under study inhibited considerably the development of post-occlusion and reperfusion arrhythmias and reduced the size of necrosis 4 h after their administration as prophylactic and arresting measures (to 23.8 +/- 2.9 and 29.3 +/- 3.6% of the ischemic zone, respectively, in 42.8 +/- 3.8% in the control). A combined course of cytochrome C and fructose diphosphate also limited the size of the necrotic zone 72 h after transitory ischemia. Separate single administration of fructose diphosphate and cytochrome C caused no essential changes in the size of myocardial necrosis recorded 72 h after transitory myocardial ischemia.

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.
