hexamethonium and Myocardial Ischemia

hexamethonium has been researched along with Myocardial Ischemia in 7 studies

Hexamethonium: A nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including hypertension but, like the other ganglionic blockers, it has been replaced by more specific drugs for most purposes, although it is widely used a research tool.

Myocardial Ischemia: A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In acute experiments in anesthetized rabbits the changes of the pulmonary hemodynamics following myocardial ischemia in the region of the descendent left coronary artery were studied in control animals and after the blockade of alpha-adrenoreceptors by phentolamine or N-cholinoreceptors of autonomic ganglia by hexamethonium."3.78[The adrenergic mechanisms are involved in the pulmonary hemodynamics changes following experimental myocardial ischemia in rabbits]. ( Evlakhov, VI; Poiasov, IZ, 2012)
"Pretreatment with hexamethonium could abolish this protection (IA/AR, 67 +/- 4%)."1.31Bradykinin mediates cardiac preconditioning at a distance. ( Schoemaker, RG; van Heijningen, CL, 2000)
"In many species arrhythmias induced by myocardial ischaemia appear to be in part dependent upon cardiac sympathetic nerves."1.30Cardiac transplantation does not effect ischaemia-induced arrhythmias in rats. ( Guo, P; Pugsley, MK; Walker, MJ; Yong, SL, 1999)
"In contrast to selective anoxia (Po2 < 5 mmHg) or glucose withdrawal, respectively, anoxia in combination with glucose withdrawal (5-40 min) markedly potentiated nicotine-induced NE release both in guinea-pig heart and human atrium."1.29Nicotine-induced exocytotic norepinephrine release in guinea-pig heart, human atrium and bovine adrenal chromaffin cells: modulation by single components of ischaemia.
