[Antiarrhythmic effect of estradiol-dipropionate in animals of different sexes].
Repetitive injections of estradiol, performed for many days, caused a diminution of resting potential of ventricular cardiomyocytes; spontaneously reversible ventricular fibrillation aroused 2 times more often, and the latent period of development of aconitine-induced ventricular fibrillation increased for 3 times in males, and for 5 times--in females. The antiarrhythmic effect of estradiol may be caused by its action on potassium current.
