The aim of this study was to assess how cerivastatin influences contractility and degree of myocardial damage in papillary muscle subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation in hypercholesterolemic guinea pigs. Study group consisted of guinea pigs, fed standard, hypercholesterolemic or hypercholesterolemic diets with low dose of cerivastatin. During experimental hypoxia-reoxygenation, the contractility ...
