Cardiomyopathy in Soman and Sarin intoxicated rats.

Abstract:

:Rats surviving various single dose of the organophosphorus anticholinesterase nerve agents Soman and Sarin were examined by light microscopy at intervals up to 35 days post-exposure. Brain lesions, identical to those that have been reported elsewhere were present, as well as a previously unreported finding associated with Soman or Sarin intoxication: half of all animals that had brain lesions also had areas of myocardial degeneration and necrosis. Depending upon the point in time at which cardiac tissues were examined, findings varied from areas of acute myolysis and necrosis to areas undergoing resolution of damage. The finding of brain lesions in those animals having cardiac lesions suggests a relationship between the convulsion induced neurologic and cardiac lesions. These studies suggest that convulsive doses of chemical warfare agents induce pathological changes in the cardiovascular system of laboratory animals.
