Abstract:
0.5 mV and change in color of myocardium. Blood samples were taken from right atrium for determination of plasma SOD activity and plasma MDA level and from coronary sinus and artery for determination of blood lactate level before occlusion of LAD ( T0 ) , before reperfusion (T1),1,2,3,4,5,6 h after reperfusion (T2-7 ) . Myocardial lactate production was calculated from the difference between coronary sinus and arterial blood lactate concentrations. Results ( 1) In HTEA group HR, MAP and CVP decreased by 22% , 25% and 28% after epidural blockade, while in control group there was no significant change after epidural saline. (2) In HTEA group plasma SOD activity started increasing at T6 and blood MDA level decreased at T4 and T5, whereas in control group blood SOD activity started decreasing and blood MDA level started increasing at T3 . (3) Myocardium released no lactate before ischemia. Myocardial lactate release greatly increased during ischemia and started decreasing after reperfusion in both groups. But myocardial lactate production was significantly less in HTEA group than that in control group. (4) One animal died from ventricular fibrillation at the beginning of reperfusion in HTEA group while in control group four animals died. Conclusion HTEA can alleviate the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injyry by blocking sympathetic nervous activity.
