Abstract:Introduction. The aim of the experiment was to find the relationship between the extent of myocardial infarction and the internal body temperature of the rats. Our second goal was to investigate if mild hypothermia applied during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion brings cardioprotective effects.Materials and methods. The study was performed in vivo on rat hearts. Myocardial infarction was induced by 30 minutes of the left anterior descending artery occlusion followed by 60 min reperfusion. Thirteen rats were… Show more
