Does myocardial catecholamine depletion reduce arrhythmias and alter cellular electrophysiology during ischaemia and reperfusion in guinea pig hearts?
Endogenous myocardial catecholamines contribute to the electrophysiological changes and arrhythmias associated with myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion.
Culling et al. (1984) studied this question.
