Effects of PVN infusion of an anti-IL-6-antibody or SC144 on ventricular electrophysiological activity in MI rats. a Recordings of typical ventricular arrhythmia induced by programmed electrical stimulation. b Recording of ventricular premature beats within 24 h by small-animal dynamic electrocardiography. c Quantitative analysis of induced ventricular fibrillation. d Quantitative analysis of the ventricular fibrillation threshold. e Quantitative analysis of premature ventricular beats over 24 h. The values are the means±SEs. &p < 0.05 vs sham rats, #p < 0.05 vs MI rats. Abbreviations: PVN, paraventricular nucleus; IL-6, interleukin-6; MI, myocardial infarction
