Abstract:
The effect of (HD) on occlusion-reperfusion (VF) was studied in 22 dogs. The (LAD) coronary artery occlusion lasted 25 min, and followed by reperfusion for 30 min, in 12 dogs with (HD) (group A) and in other 10 dogs (group B) without (HD). A significantly (p less than 0.05) lower frequency of appearance of (VF) during occlusion-reperfusion was seen in the group A undergoing (HD) (2 out of 12 dogs) in comparison to the control group B (7 out of 10 dogs). It is concluded that the (VF) of coronary occlusion-reperfusion can be prevented by a "non-pharmaceutical" intervention such as hemodialysis.
