Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction was produced in anesthetized dogs by ligation of the left anterior descendens coronary artery. Propranolol (2 mg/kg i.v.) administered 4 hours post ligation was examined for its ability to reduce infarct size estimated by histochemical and enzymatic methods. There was a significant correlation between these two methods in their estimation of infarct size. Treatment with propranolol significantly decreased infarct size estimated with both methods. It is concluded that some portion of the myocardium can be protected against infarction by pharmacologic intervention as late as 4 hours after the onset of coronary artery occlusion. Bei narkotisierten Hunden wurde durch Ligatur des absteigenden Astes der linken Koronararterie ein akuter Myokardinfarkt erzeugt. Es wurde geprüft, inwieweit Propranolol (2 mg/kg i.v., 4 Stunden nach Ligatur) die nach histochemischen und enzymatischen Methoden bestimmte Infarktgröße reduziert. Zwischen den Ergebnissen beider Methoden fand sich eine signifikante Korrelation. Aufgrund beider Methoden ergab sich eine eindeutige Abnahme der Infarktgröße als Folge der Propranololbehandlung. Es wird geschlossen, daß-noch 4 Stunden nach Arterienokklusion — ein gewisser Anteil des Myokards durch die pharmakologische Intervention gegen Infarzierung geschützt werden kann.This publication has 41 references indexed in Scilit:
