Abstract

Determinations of epicardial electrogram and femoral arterial blood pressure were made after ligation of LAD. The myocardial infarct size was measured by N-BT technique at 24 h after LAD occlusion. In dogs with 1 mg/kg of sodium tanshinone II-A sulfonate or dipyridamole injected into the distal end of LAD beyond occlusion, the sizes of acute myocardial infarcts were significantly reduced, but neither epicardial S-T segment nor blood pressure showed significant changes.
