Acute bradyarrhythmia induced by occlusion of the posterior interventricular branch of the right coronary artery.
Ligation of the posterior interventricular branch of the right coronary artery in rats induced bradyarrhythmia similar by its pathophysiological mechanisms to bradyarrhythmias developed in humans during acute ischemia of the posterior cardiac wall. The type and severity of arrhythmia and conduction disturbances, their latency and duration, and correlation with the volume of damaged myocardial tissue were determined. The efficacy and safety of the use of methylxanthines during acute myocardial ischemia was proved.
