Abstract
The capability of cyclohexylphenol exaprolol of protecting the ischaemic myocardium during ischaemic cardiac arrest was assessed in the isolated working rat heart. Exaprolol added to the perfusion medium in a dose of 10(-7) mol.l-1 only minimally influenced the left ventricular function (reduced the stroke volume by 18.84% and cardiac output by 14.63%). The hearts were subjected to global ischaemia for 75 min at 26 degrees C and subsequently reperfused for 60 min at 37 degrees C. The recovery of left ventricular function following reperfusion, expressed as a percentage of preischaemic functional performance was used as an indicator of the ischaemic tolerance of the heart. The effect of exaprolol on sarcolemmal (Na+ + K+)-, Mg2+- and Ca2+-ATPase activities was also examined. Exaprolol-pretreated hearts revealed better postischaemic recovery of the left ventricular dP/dt max and stroke volume as well as improved efficiency in the transformation of chemical energy to mechanical work. Exaprolol in 10(-4) mol.l-1 concentration significantly stimulated the specific activity of sarcolemmal (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Possible mechanisms of the salutary effect of exaprolol on the ischaemic heart are discussed.
