We have previously shown that non-excitatory epicardial stimulation (NES) increases measures of cardiac function mediated by local release norepinephrine. In this further investigation we focused on the effects NES myocardial contractile pattern. Farm pigs were anesthetized and instrumented with a LV high-fidelity pressure/volume conductance transducer, thoracic aortic pressure left atrial (LA)...
