Abstract
    [Objective] To explore the effect of acupuncture on neiguan points on the haemodynamics and enzymology in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). [Methods] An experimental model of rat with AMI induced by ligation of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was. The rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, acupuncture group and non-acupoint group, and treated for 7 days. Seven days later, the parameters of ventricular haemodynamics were monitored with sixteen-leads physiological recorder. The serum LDH content was measured. [Results] Acupuncture could not only decrease LVEDP, but also increase the rising rate of the maximum left ventricular pressure and the falling rate of the maximum left ventricular pressure in rats with AMI. Acupuncture might lower the content of the serum LDH of rats with AMI too. There was a point specialty for acupuncture to treat AMI in rat. [Conclusions] Acupunctured on Neiguan points may improve the cardiac function in rats with AMI.
