The electrophysiologic effects of sophoridine (Sop) and procainamide (PA) were observed in this canine model. With routine methods of PES, ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrilation (VF) could be reproducibly initiated in this model. Both drugs distinctly lengthened the QTc interval ( P <0.01) and the effective refractory period (ERP) in normal and ischemic ventricular myocardium ( P <0.01), decreased the dispersion of ERP in ischemic myocardium and the dispersion of ERP in left ventricle (P <0.05), and increased the diastolic excitability threshold of normal and ischemic ventricular myocardium remarkably ( P <0.01). Both drugs effectively prevented the PES-induced VT or VF and ischemia-induced VF ( P <0.05). The results indicated that this canine model is a good and reliable one, sophoridine and procainamide may be effective in preventing the onset of reentrant ventricular tachyarrhythmias after myocardial ischemic damage.展开更多
