Does inhibition of nitric oxide synthase enhance the myocardial toxicity of phenylpropanolamine?
PPA causes myocardial contractile depression without altering global coronary artery blood flow. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis sensitizes the heart to the myocardial depressant effects of PPA and increases the risk for ventricular fibrillation.
The present study showed that adiponectin was associated with AMI in non obese patients but it is not related to sex, age and other CAD risk factors.
