Methods: Forty guinea pigs were randomly divided into the AI group and the control group, AI injected intravenously in the AI group and 0.9% normal saline injected in the control group, ouabain was injected in contralateral of both groups intravenously 8 mins later. The time of cardiac ventricular tachycardia (VT) and cardiac ventricular fibrillation (VF), and the dose of ouabain were documented.Results: Compared with the control group AI could markedly prolong the time of VT and VF, and increase the dose of ouabain induces VT and VF ( P <0.01). Conclusion: AI decreases the incidence of digitalism.展开更多
