| Abstract | Cardiac pacing, in anaesthetized dogs, protects against ischaemia and reperfusion-induced ventricular arrhythmias when this is initiated 24 h after the pacing stimulus. Now we have examined whether this delayed cardioprotection afforded by cardiac pacing is mediated through nitric oxide. Twenty-two dogs were paced (4×5 min periods at 220 beats min−1) by way of the right ventricle, 24 h prior to a 25 min period of coronary artery occlusion. Nine of these dogs were given the inhibitor of induced nitric oxide synthase, aminoguanidine (50 mg kg−1 i.v.), 0.5 h prior to coronary artery occlusion. Sham-operated non-paced dogs with and without aminoguanidine treatment served as controls. Pacing markedly (P<0.05) reduced arrhythmia severity (ventricular fibrillation, VF, during occlusion 15%; survival from the combined ischaemia-reperfusion insult 62%) compared to control, sham-operated, unpaced dogs (VF during occlusion 58%; survival 17%). This protection was attenuated by the administration of aminoguanidine prior to coronary artery occlusion (survival from the combined ischaemia-reperfusion insult 11%, which was significantly (P<0.05) less than in the paced dogs not given aminoguanidine and similar to the controls). Aminoguanidine had no significant effects on coronary artery occlusion when given to dogs that had not been paced. In the dose used aminoguanadine transiently elevated systemic arterial pressure by a mean of 20 mmHg and reduced heart rate by a mean of 22 beats min−1. These results suggest that nitric oxide, probably derived from induced nitric oxide synthase, contributes significantly to the delayed cardioprotection afforded by cardiac pacing. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
