title: [Electrophysiological and morphological analysis of the cardiotoxic action of ethanol in rats].
abstract: The experiments on male rats showed that oral ethanol administered in a dose of 8 g/kg (2/3 of LD50) daily for a month produces toxic heart damage whose electrophysiological and morphological characteristics are similar to clinico-anatomical manifestations of human alcohol myocardiodystrophy. It was concluded that the model may be used for the search of new pharmacological agents for the treatment and prevention of alcohol myocardiodystrophy.
