| Abstract: | Summary By ligating the proximate left anterior descend (LAD) of coronary artery and inducing the ventricular fibrillation with electrical
stimulation, the preventive effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on ventricular fibrillation were observed. The results showed
that the ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT) of rats with acute ischemic myocardium was raised after acupuncturing some
acupoints, which could prevent the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation. Furthermore, the combination of EA and propranolol
could enhance the VFT effectively, and they showed a good synergistic effect.
