Histopathological and functional changes in a single-dose model of combretastatin A4 disodium phosphate-induced myocardial damage in rats.
In conclusion, myocardial injury, bradycardia, and depressed cardiac function were induced in rats by a single-dose of CA4DP. The lesion distribution and electrocardiographic features suggested that myocardial injury was induced by ischemia. These findings are similar to MDA-induced cardiotoxicity in humans, and this rat model will prove useful in studies of the cardiotoxicity in humans.
