Hyok Joo Kwon, Young Hwan Song, Soo Jung Kang, Hyoung Jin Kang, Hyoung Soo Choi, Eun Jung Bae, Hee Young Shin, Chung Il Noh, Yong Soo Yun, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(3):242-249.   Published online March 15, 2003
Purpose : We studied the relationship between anthracycline cumulative dose and anthracycline cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer and followed up 40 children with anthracycline cardiotoxicity. Methods : A retrospective study was performed in 154 children who received anthracycline chemotherapy between January 1995 to December 2000. Cardiotoxicity was defined when the left ventricular fractional shortening(FS) was below 26%; it was divided into two...
The Role of Apoptosis in Adriamycin Induced Cardiotoxicity and Preventive Effect of L-carnitine in Rat
Young Mi Hong, Seung Sook Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(6):760-768.   Published online June 15, 1998
Purpose : Adriamycin is very important in cancer chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the drug shows cumulative dose dependent cardiotoxicity. The precise mechanism of this remains unclear. It has been shown that adriamycin induces programmed cell death or apoptosis in many tissues. But the role of apoptosis in adriamycin induced cardiotoxicity is uncertain. Methods : Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups of ten animals each. All...
The Effects of Adriamycin on Ionic Currents in Single Cardiac Myocytes of the Rabbit
Sejung Sohn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(8):1093-1106.   Published online August 15, 1995
Purpose : The study objective was to elucidate the possible pathophysiologic mechanism of Ca overload by adriamycin (ADR) which is associated with ADR- induced cardiotoxicity. Methods : The effects of ADR on ionic currents were studied using the whole cell voltage clamp technique in single cardiac myocytes of the rabbit. Results : The magnitude of the inward tail current, recorded at -70mV...

The antiumor antibiotic adriamycin is presently considered to be a very effctive and useful chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of many human tumors. Cardiotoxicity of adriamycin limits its clinical use. A number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism of cardiotox- icity with adriamycin, but none has yet been demonstrated. The effects of adriamycin on twitch force and membrane potential in an...
