Amiodarone inhibits arrhythmias in hypertensive rats by improving myocardial biomechanical properties

Abstract The prevalence of arrhythmia in patients with hypertension has gradually attracted widespread attention. However, the relationship between hypertension and arrhythmia still lacks more attention. Herein, we explore the biomechanical mechanism of arrhythmia in hypertensive rats and the effect...
