Key result
Sarpogrelate attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury and preserves cardiac function in isolated rat hearts.
Why the study?
The role of serotonin in mediating changes in cardiac function due to ischemia reperfusion is poorly understood.
Does sarpogrelate prevent cardiac injury due to ischemia reperfusion in isolated rat hearts?
Population
Isolated rat hearts subjected to 30 min global ischemia followed by 1 h reperfusion
Comparison
Sarpogrelate infusion vs no treatment during ischemia reperfusion
Design
Preclinical experimental study
Follow-up
1 hour reperfusion

Sarpogrelate attenuated IR injury in isolated rat hearts; leaves open whether 5-HT2A blockade confers clinical cardioprotection.
Does sarpogrelate prevent cardiac injury due to ischemia reperfusion in isolated rat hearts?
p-value: p=<0.05
Sarpogrelate attenuates ischemia-reperfusion-induced cardiac injury in isolated rat hearts, highlighting the role of serotonin in IR injury.
Temsah et al. (2001) studied Ischemia reperfusion injury. Sarpogrelate vs. Untreated ischemia-reperfusion was evaluated on Changes in left ventricular developed pressure, left ventricular end diastolic pressure, rate of pressure development, and rate of pressure decay (p=<0.05). Sarpogrelate attenuated ischemia-reperfusion-induced changes in cardiac function, ultrastructural damage, and high energy phosphate levels in isolated rat hearts (P < 0.05).
