The concentration-related sensitization of guinea pig left atrium to adenosine in the presence of diazepam is well established. It was found in our experiments that the cardiodepressive action of hypoxia is significantly enhanced by diazepam in the left atrial myocardium. In atrial preparations obtained from guinea pigs treated with diazepam for 10 days, the hypoxia-induced depression of myocardial contractility was not altered. These results indicate that diazepam-treatment does not impaire the hypoxic tolerance of myocardium.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).
