Does fragmented QRS predict cardiovascular death of patients with structural heart disease and inducible ventricular tachyarrhythmia?
fQRS is a predictor of cardiovascular death in patients with structural heart disease and inducible VT/VF.
When ketamine-xylazine anaesthesia was employed, the protective effects of ischaemic preconditioning in the rabbit heart could be blocked by glibenclamide, and pinacidil could mimic the protection of ischaemic preconditioning. Because the protection afforded by pinacidil could be blocked by SPT, however, there is still some question whether the KATP channel is the end effector of preconditioning.
