Study of Influence of Atorvastatin on the Repolarisation Phase of Cardiomyocytes (ATORVA)

August 22, 2007 updated by: Masaryk University

The aim of this study is to evaluate influence of atorvastin on the repolarisation phase of cardiomyocytes. If there is any, it could be a part of positive "non-lipid" effect of statins in therapy of ischaemic heart disease.

Study hypothesis: atorvastin will decrease heterogeneity of repolarisation of cardiomyocytes in comparison with placebo

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

The group will consist of 40 healthy volunteers. The study will be mono-centric. The repolarisation phase of cardiomyocytes will be evaluated using long - term 12-lead digital ECG monitoring. There will be 3 single ECG recordings - randomly after 20 mg of atorvastin, 80 mg of atorvastatin and placebo, respectively.
