Electrocardiographic parameters in rat hearts 21 days after coronary artery occlusion with or without ACE inhibitor, imidapril (1 mg/kg/day) treatment.
| Parameters | Control | Untreated | Imidapril-Treated |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST segment (mV) | 0.03 ± 0.004 | 0.13 ± 0.02 * | 0.04 ± 0.003 # |
| QTc interval (ms) | 378 ± 14 | 548 ± 9 * | 423 ± 9 # |
| Q wave appearance (%) | ND | 25 | 25 |
| PVC incidence (%) | ND | 14 | 5 |
| QRS duration (ms) | 0.10 ± 0.01 | 0.09 ± 0.01 | 0.10 ± 0.01 |
Data are taken from our paper Ren et al., 1998 [66]. ND—not detectable; values are mean ± S.E. * p < 0.05 vs. control; # p < 0.05 vs. untreated.
