HOE 694 attenuates reperfusion diastolic dysfunction in rabbit hearts; leaves open translation of Na+/H+ exchange inhibition to clinical reperfusion injury.
Does the Na(+)-H+ exchange inhibitor HOE 694 improve postischemic function and reduce injury in isolated perfused rabbit hearts?
In a preclinical rabbit heart model, the Na(+)-H+ exchange inhibitor HOE 694 improved postischemic functional recovery and cellular energetics, particularly when administered prior to ischemia.
Hendrikx et al. (1994) studied this question.
