The anticholinergic drug oxybutynin inhibits voltage-dependent K+ channels in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells.

abstract：:The efficacy of streptokinase as an intracoronary thrombolytic agent is well-recognized. The effect of streptokinase, distinct from its thrombolytic action, on ischaemic myocardium distal to an area of coronary artery occlusion when reperfusion occurs has not been well-defined. In order to do this, myocardial creatine...
