4-Aminopyridine, A Blocker of Voltage-Dependent K+ Channels, Restores Blood Pressure and Improves Survival in the Wistar Rat Model of Anaphylactic Shock.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Preliminary experimental data suggest that selective β1-blockers may improve ex vivo cardiac function in animal sepsis. Currently, the effects of esmolol on in vivo cardiac function and on vascular function are unknown. The present study was designed to examine the effects of the β1-selective blocker esmolol ...
