The present study was designed to evaluate the In vitro anti-oxidant cardio-protective activity of Hydro alcoholic bark extract of Terminalia paniculata Roxb on Isoproterenol induced Myocardial Infarction in Rat. Wistar albino rats used in this experiment were pretreated with vehicle, HAETP (200,400 and 600 mg/kg, p.o), Vit-C (20 mg/kg, p.o) for 14 days, on 14th and 15th day, Isoproterenol (85 mg/kg, s.c) was injected. After 24 h of last dose of ISO administration, ECG was recorded and serum biomarkers CK-MB, LDH, SGOT and SGPT were estimated. Further antioxidant levels were estimated from the tissue homogenates. Finally histopathological examination of heart was performed. HAETP have shown significant antioxidant activity in DPPH and reducing power methods. Moreover pretreatment with HAETP and Vit C improved ECG pattern and histopathology of heart.
