Abstract
Clinical success in prevention of sudden cardiac death has been poor. New approaches to prevention of ventricular fibrillation (VF), one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death, are clearly needed. In the present article we have reviewed some of our own data which support the notion that VF may be prevented by manipulation of chloride homeostasis /1,2/. Our studies have revealed a novel approach to VF suppression via alteration of sarcolemmal membrane resistance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Basic and Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology (JBCPP) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly published journal in experimental medicine. JBCPP publishes novel research in the physiological and pharmacological sciences, including brain research; cardiovascular-pulmonary interactions; exercise; thermal control; haematology; immune response; inflammation; metabolism; oxidative stress; and phytotherapy. As the borders between physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry become increasingly blurred, we also welcome papers using cutting-edge techniques in cellular and/or molecular biology to link descriptive or behavioral studies with cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the integrative processes. Topics: Behavior and Neuroprotection, Reproduction, Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity, Vascular Conditions, Cardiovascular Function, Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Interactions, Oxidative Stress, Metabolism, Immune Response, Hematological Profile, Inflammation, Infection, Phytotherapy.
