Article Synopsis
- Scientists wanted to see if a drug called diazoxide can protect the heart during a time when it doesn’t get enough blood (called acute myocardial ischemia).
- They tested this on 12 piglets, giving some of them diazoxide before blocking a heart artery for 40 minutes to mimic the problem.
- The results showed that the piglets given diazoxide had less cell damage in their hearts and better heart function compared to those that did not get the drug.
