Stabilizing effect of antioxidants and inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis on after-contractions in Ca2+-overloaded myocardium.

abstract：:Diseases accompanied by severe cardiac impairment like sepsis and chronic uremia are frequently linked to an increase in cytokine release. In order to investigate possible toxic effects of the immune mediators on myocardial cells, we studied the contractility of cardiac myocytes and the de novo formation of stress pro...
