Activation of β1-adrenoceptors may not be involved in arrhythmogenesis in ischemic heart disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although ischemic heart disease is invariably associated with marked activation of sympathetic nervous system, elevated levels of circulating catecholamines and lethal ventricular arrhythmias, the mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis due to myocardial ischemia are not fully understood. Since catecholamines are known to produce stimulatory effects in the heart mainly by acting on β1-adrenoceptors, this study was undertaken to test the involvement of these receptors in the development of arrhythmias due to myocardial infarction (MI) induced upon occluding the left coronary artery in rats for a period of 2 h. The animals were treated with or without atenolol (20 mg/kg; daily), a selective β1-adrenoceptors blocker, for 14 days before inducing MI. No alterations in the number of MIinduced episodes and incidence or duration of different types of arrhythmias were observed. In fact, the incidence of trigemines and reversible ventricular fibrillation due to MI were significantly increased in the atenolol-treated animals. These observations support the view that the activation of β1-adrenoceptors may not be exclusively involved in the development of arrhythmias during the occurrence of ischemic heart disease and other mechanisms can underlie the electric instability of such damaged heart.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
