Use of microminipigs for unveiling unknown mechanisms of azithromycin-induced cardiovascular death

Although azithromycin can suppress cardiac INa, IKr, IKs, ICa,L and IK1, its onset mechanisms for cardiovascular death have not been fully investigated. We examined electropharmacological effects of azithromycin in intravenous doses of 0.3, 3 and 30 mg/kg using microminipigs under the halothane anes...
