Popis: Contribution of sodium channels and sodium/hydrogen exchangers (NHEs) to sodium accumulation during ischemia in the ischemic/reperfused heart was examined. Ischemia increased the myocardial sodium. Reperfusion elicited a further increase in the myocardial sodium, which was associated with little recovery of the left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) of the perfused heart. Treatment with tetrodotoxin or dimethylamirolide (DMA) dose-dependently attenuated the ischemia- and reperfusion-induced increase in myocardial sodium and enhanced the post-ischemic recovery of the LVDP. There was an inverse relationship between the increase in myocardial sodium during ischemia and the post-ischemic recovery of the LVDP.The myocardial sodium accumulation during ischemia is mainly attributed to sodium influx through sodium channels and NHEs.
