The experimental production of a myocardial infarction (MI) in the dog was achieved adopting a new catheter technique. After induction of the MI, a variety of arrhythmias appeared and were classified according to the Lown-classification as more or less severe. The therapy was achieved with antiarrhythmics class 1-111 (Vaughn-Williams classification) for late premature ventricular beats or couplets. Sinus tachycardia was often terminated by occular or sinus carotis pressure or a new selective sinus blocking agent. Results showed Amiodarone to be the drug of choice in the treatment of severe arrhythmias (Lown IV and V) like triplets or salves of extrasystolies. Ventricular fibrillation always resulted in the death of the animal, because fibrillation was not convertible by direct current cardioversion, endovenous injection of Lidocaine or even internal cardiac massage. The registration of hemodynamic parameters (left ventricular end diastolic pressure, wedge pressure, pulmonary and aortic pressure) was shown to be important in controlling the therapy, as well as blood gas and electrolyte analysis.
