Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the influence of oxygen stress on the level of cardiac apoptosis index(AI) in chronic congestive heart failure rats,and to intervene with the third-generation blocker-carvedilol to elucidate its mechanism.Methods:8 weeks after partially banding abdominal aortic artery,20 Wister rats were randomly assigned into two groups:①heart failure group( n =10);②carvedilol group( n =10).Meanwhile,sham-operated rats( n =10) were established as a control group.After 4 weeks of remedy,hemodynamic parameters,ventricular mass index(LVMI and RVMI),oxygen stress including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA),and myocardiac apoptosis were studied.Results:①Compared with sham-operated rats,all the hemodynamics were deteriorated,and LVMI and RVMI were increased significantly ( P
