Supplementation of Lipoic Acid, Zinc and Clopidogrel Reduces Mortality Rate and Incidence of Ventricular Arrhythmia in Experimental Myocardial Infarction

This 2021 animal study published in Frontiers in Physiology (DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.582223, PMCID: PMC8009994) evaluated the cardioprotective effects of lipoic acid, zinc, and clopidogrel in Wistar rats with isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction (MI). The study found that pre-treatment with these agents reduced mortality rates, ventricular arrhythmias, ST-segment elevation, and CK-MB levels. Lipoic
