An adrenergic participation subserving a positive inotropism and chonotropism of prostacyclin on isolated rat atria

L S Borda et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The effects of prostacyclin (PGI2) on the contractile frequency and on the isometric developed tension of spontaneously beating or paced isolated rat atria were explored. PGI2 enhanced frequency and contractile tension, both effects being blocked by the presence of propranolol, or following a pretreatment with 6-OHDopamine.
