The effects of cimetidine (Cim) on ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT), diastolic excitation threshold (DET), effective refractory period (ERP), and vulnerable period (VP), were determined in both stable perfusion and postischemic reperfusion rat hearts. The results showed that reperfusion after 15 min global myocardial ischemia caused a significant decrease VFT and ERP, and an increase in VP and DET. Cim 1 mmol.L-1 prevented the lowering in VFT, shortening in ERP, and lengthening in VP from the postischemic reperfusion. Cim 0.1 mmol.L-1 attenuated the exacerbation of VFT and VP. Cim 0.01 mmol.L-1 did not exert any noticeable influence on the electrophysiological parameters. It was shown that Cim 1 mmol.L-1 protected myocardium against the aggravation of electrophysiological characteristics induced by postischemic reperfusion.
