Angiotensin (1-7) re-establishes impulse conduction in cardiac muscle during ischaemia-reperfusion. The role of the sodium pump
Introduction The effect of angiotensin (1-7) (Ang 1-7) on membrane potential and excitability of rat heart muscle under ischaemia/reperfusion was investigated. Materials and methods The hearts of adult rats were removed under deep anaesthesia and perfused using the Langendorff method. After 40 minut...
