Table 2.
Incidence of premature ventricular beats (PVB) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) in perfused hearts from sham control, ORX and ORX+T rats over first 30 min of reperfusion period after 30 min of regional ischaemia
| PVB (%) | VT (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| Sham control (n=12) | 50 | 25 |
| ORX (n=12) | 100* | 50 |
| ORX+T (n=9) | 56# | 44 |
Values shown are the percentage of rats exhibiting PVBs and VT (mean±s.e.mean rounded to the nearest whole number) over the first 30 min reperfusion period.
*P<0.05 relative to sham control; #P<0.05 relative to ORX by χ2 test for percentages.
