Myocadial ischemia reperfusion injury model was established by the ligation of left desending coronary artery for 30 min and reperfusion for 120 min in rats, and the influence of HLF on cardiac function, enzymes, lipid peroxide of myocardium was observed. HLF attenuated the declines of LVSP and ±dp/dt max and blood pressure in arterial, decreased Na~(+)-K~(+)-ATPase activity and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA), and increased superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity in ischemic myocardium. The results suggested that the effects of HLF on cardiac function in the process of ischemia reperfusion may be related to the mechanism of imporving energy metabolism, scavarging the oxygen free radicals and inhibiting production of free radical in ischemic myocardium.
