Abstract
Objective To study the effects of lidocaine on sevoflurane postconditioning-induced cardioprotection.Methods Ischemic status was kept for 40 rain in isolated perfused rat hearts followed by 1 h of reperfusion.Sevoflurane(3%) was administered at the beginning of reperfusion for 15 rain with or without lidocaine (20 μg/ml) perfusion.The direct mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) inhibitor Cyclosporin A (CsA,0.2 μmol/L) was co-administered in the presence or absence of lidocaine.LVDP,LVEDP,+dp/dtmax were recorded and infarct size was measured with TTC staining.Results Sevoflurane postconditioning significantly improved the recovery of ischernic myocardial function and decreased the infarct size of rat hearts (P＜0.05),which was abolished by lidocaine perfusion.The inhibition of lidocaine on sevoflurane posteonditioning effect was reversed by CsA.Conclusion Sevoflurane postconditioning effectively protects myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury,and higher concentration of lidocaine inhibits this protective effect by opening MPTP.
