Abstract

It was established that selective ligands of the mu-opioid receptors DAGO and DALDA exhibit antiarrhythmic activity on a model of CACl2-induced arrhythmias when infused intravenously in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg. The autonomic nervous system does not take part in realization of the antiarrhythmic effect of DAGO and DALDA. It is supposed that this effect of DAGO and DALDA is associated with activation of cardiac mu-opioid receptors.

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.

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.

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.
