Elevation of an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis in experimental congestive heart failure.

abstract：:The voltage- and rate-dependence of the depression of the maximum rate of depolarisation (Vmax) by therapeutic concentrations of flecainide and lorcainide were studied in guinea-pig ventricle by standard microelectrode techniques. At normal resting potentials the drugs produced only minor depression of Vmax in the abs...
