Objective:To study the role of paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus(PVN) in correlativity between Neiguan(PC 6) and the heart.Methods:Effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at Neiguan(PC 6) on ECG and monophasic action potential (MAP) of ischemic myocardial cells
and changes of these effects after electrolytic lesion of PVN were investigated in the rabbit of acute myocardial ischemia.Results:(1) EA at Neiguan(PC 6) could significantly reduce ST potential of ECG
inhibit the decline of MAPA and shortening of MAPD
and improve the myocardial ultrastructure in the rabbit of acute myocardial ischemia; (2)Electrolytic lesion of PVN could significantly decrease the effects of EA at Neiguan(PC 6).[WTHZ]Conclusion:EA at Neiguan(PC 6) can significantly attenuate the injury of acute myocardial ischemia
and PVN participates in the central pathway of Neiguan(PC 6) to the heart.
