acetylcarnitine and Ventricular Fibrillation

acetylcarnitine has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 1 studies

Acetylcarnitine: An acetic acid ester of CARNITINE that facilitates movement of ACETYL COA into the matrices of mammalian MITOCHONDRIA during the oxidation of FATTY ACIDS.

Ventricular Fibrillation: A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST.

"The study aimed to examine whether L-carnitine and its derivatives, acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine, were equally effective and able to improve postischemic cardiac function, reduce the incidence of reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation, infarct size, and apoptotic cell death in ischemic/reperfused isolated rat hearts."7.72Effects of L-carnitine and its derivatives on postischemic cardiac function, ventricular fibrillation and necrotic and apoptotic cardiomyocyte death in isolated rat hearts.
