Arrhythmogenic potential of alpha-adrenoceptor stimulation in the rat heart

Author: Flint, Nigel Stuart Date: 1985 A recent proposal is that the alpha₁-adrenoceptor may mediate the arrhythmogenic effect of catecholamines during acute myocardial ischaernia. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the role of alpha₁ and alpha₂-adrenoceptor stimulation on ... Read more
Electrophysiological mechanism of ventricular automaticity : a model foe ventricular arrythmias

Author: Saman, Selva ; Saman, Selva Date: 1984 Ventricular arrhythmias are difficult to study in man. The current experimental models are arrhythmias induced by electrical stimulation, coronary artery ligation or by subsequent reperfusion. An electrophysiological model will be useful for ...

Preconditioning and augmented preconditioning via manipulation of metabolic and signalling pathways in the rat heart

Author: Makaula, Siyanda S S Date: 2000 Cardiac ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) describes a biological phenomenon whereby a short ischaemic stimulus confers protection to the heart against subsequent prolonged ischaemia and reperfusion injury. Understanding this survival programme ... Read more
