Popis: Objective: To determine the effect of Na+–H+ exchange blockade on ischemic rigor contracture and reperfusion-induced hypercontracture. Methods: Thirty-six pigs were submitted to 55 min of coronary occlusion and 5 h reperfusion. Myocardial segment length analysis with ultrasonic microcrystals was used to detect ischemic rigor (reduction in passive segment length change) and hypercontracture (reduction in end-diastolic length). Results: Pretreatment with the new, highly selective Na+–H+ exchange inhibitor HOE642 before occlusion reduced ischemic rigor ( P
