|January 1, 1976
Abstract:
Intravenous injection of Gardeniae Fructus extract in rats significantly lowered the systemic arterial pressure which was related to a decreased cardiac output with decreased stroke volume. Gareniae Fructus extract decreased the myocardial contractility of perfused isolated rat heart. Electrocardiogram revealed evidence of myocardial damage and atrioventricular block after a large dose of the extract.
