Cordialin, the agent extracted from the heart, is known to inhibit hyperoxidation of succinic acid, increasing NADH oxidation speed in suspension of cardiomyocytes in hypoxia. Cordialin presence in oxygenated cells' suspension oxidating succinate, doesn't change oxygen consumption speed. The results received may be a theoretical basis for cordialin utilization in therapy of myocardial diseases, associated with hypoxia and ischemia. Cordialin utilization may be recommended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and for prolongation of time-period for thrombolytic therapy, treatment of IMD, angina and other pathological states, in which oxygen transport disturbance to myocardium cells occurs.
