Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of aqueous leaf extract of Azadirachta indica were evaluated on isolated prefused frog and rabbit heart. Dose dependent negative inotropic and chronotropic effects were observed in both the heart preparation. An increase in coronary blood flow in isolated rabbit heart was observed. The effects were not blocked by atropine and mepyramine in both the preparations. The data suggests that A. indica could be of benefit in coronary artery disease and arrhythmias.
