Aims: To evaluate vagal stimulation-mediated myocardial protection against ischemia and reperfusion in in vivo ischemic myocardium.Main methods: We measured myocardial interstitial myoglobin levels in the ischernic region using a cardiac microdialysis technique in anesthetized and vagotomized cats. We occluded the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) for 60 min and reperfused it for 60 min (VX group, n =6). The effects of bilateral vagal stimulation (10 V, 5 Hz, 1-ms pulse duration), initiated immediately after LAD occlusion, were examined (VS group, n=6). To examine the involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), vagal stimulation was performed after pretreatment with a PI3K inhibitor wortmannin (0.6 mg/kg, i.v.) (VS-W group, n=6). To examine the contribution of bradycardia, vagal stimulation was performed with fixed-rate ventricular pacing (VS-P group, n =6).Key findings: The average myoglobin level during the ischernic period was 1170 +/- 141 in VX (in ng/ml, mean +/- SE), which was significantly attenuated in VS (466 +/- 87, P
