Study objective - The aim of the study was to assess the influence of general anaesthesia on electrocardiographic and arrhythmogenic responses to left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. Design - Pigs weighing 18-20 kg were anaesthetised with .alpha. chloralose 100 mg .cntdot. kg-1 (n = 9) or thiopentone 30 mg .cntdot. kg-1 (n = 9) and the arrhythmogenic effects of coronary artery occlusion were examined by sequential electrocardiographic measurements every 5 min and arrhythmia analysis every minute over a 60 min period. Results - .alpha. Chloralose predisposed to lower ST segment elevation (analysis of variance for repeated measurements p < 0.002), less marked epicardial conduction delay (p < 0.01) with slower progression to monophasic potentials, and in contrast, to a greater number of episodes of ventricular premature beats (p < 0.005), ventricular tachycardia (51 v 32 episodes), and ventricular fibrillation (6 v 2 pigs) than barbiturate anaesthesia. Conclusions - .alpha. Chloralose and barbiturates exerted opposite electrocardiographic and arrhythmogenic effects in a porcine model of acute myocardial ischaemia. Due to its proarrhythmic effect chloralose should probably be used in studies dealing with spontaneous and induced ischaemic arrhythmias.
