The 'Lambeth Conventions' is a guidance document, written in 1987 (Walker et al., 1988),
intended to be of practical value in the investigation of experimental arrhythmias induced by …

The isolated perfused heart has been used increasingly during the last decade as a model
for identifying actions of drugs on ventricular fibrillation (VF) induced by myocardial …

We investigated the hypothesis that a cardioprotective, antiarrhythmic effect might be
obtained by brief ischemia of a remote part of the body before ischemia of the heart …

Ischaemia‐reperfusion injury causes cell death by both necrosis and apoptosis. Caspase
activation is a major event in apoptosis. We therefore examined the effect of caspase …

The cardiotonic and antidysrhythmic effects of four triterpenoid derivatives, namely oleanolic
acid (OA), ursolic acid (UA), and uvaol (UV), isolated from the leaves of African wild olive …

Dietary antioxidants are thought to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of coronary heart
disease. In this study, we compared resveratrol and analogues on their antioxidation and …

It has been proposed that NO may function as an endogenous cardioprotectant. We have
investigated whether modulation of NO levels (detected in coronary effluent by …

Endogenous cardiac protection against prolonged ischemic insult can be achieved by
repeated brief episodes of ischemia (hypoxia) or by cardiac adaptation to various stresses …

This review is focusing on the understanding of various factors and components governing
and controlling the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias including (i) the role of various ion …

Different from clinical studies of diabetes mellitus (DM), experimental data reveal both,
higher and lower vulnerability of the heart to ischemic injury. We have previously …
