Effect of electroacupuncture on systemic hemodynamics in rats with postinfarction cardiosclerosis

Electroacupuncture decreased total peripheral vascular resistance and increased cardiac output in 12-week-old postinfarction rats without cardiac insufficiency, while opposite changes were observed in rats with cardiac insufficiency. After the electroacupuncture course, norepinephrine decreased card...

Description
Summary:Electroacupuncture decreased total peripheral vascular resistance and increased cardiac output in 12-week-old postinfarction rats without cardiac insufficiency, while opposite changes were observed in rats with cardiac insufficiency. After the electroacupuncture course, norepinephrine decreased cardiac output in the rats with cardiac insufficiency, while acetylcholine increased it to a much higher extent than in the control rats that were not subjected to physiotherapy.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
