Calcium antagonists post-infarction: the significance of experimental studies on potentially lethal early ischemic ventricular arrhythmias.

abstract：:Preconditioning and stunning are the chief adaptive changes induced in myocardium by a brief episode of reversible ischemia followed by arterial reperfusion. In the dog heart, both coexist for a period of at least 20 minutes of reperfusion, but after 120 minutes of reflow, preconditioning is much diminished, while stu...
