Investigation of the fabomotizol dihydrochloride effect on the morphological picture of the heart left ventricle in rats with the subacute myocardial infarction by I. A. Miroshkina, A. V. Sorokina, I. B. Tsorin, V. N. Stolyaruk, M. B. Vititnova, S. A. Kryzhanovskiy, A. D. Durnev

“…According to the results of morphological studies performed on a model of subacute MI in rats, it was demonstrated that systematic therapy with fabomotizole dihydrochloride contributes not only to a significant reduction in the necrosis zone, but also to a certain extent prevents the development of early postinfarction remodeling. In rats treated with fabomotizol dihydrochloride, in contrast to control animals, reparative processes prevail in the cardiac muscle. …”
