Tongguan Capsule Protects against Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury in Mice

Figure 4

Reduced incidence of arrhythmia in TGC group. Representative ECG complexes in baseline (a), ischemia stage (b) and reperfusion stage (c). Ischemia produced dramatic alterations in the transmural ECG with a gradual increasing inversion of the T-wave and a decrease in the amplitude of R-wave (b). Premature ventricular contractions occurred frequently at the onset of reperfusion (c). Incidence of arrhythmia were reduced in TGC group (d), *** versus I/R group ( test). Various types of arrhythmia, including atrial premature beats (e), heart block (f), and ventricular tachycardia (g) were observed during I/R injury.
