In the foregoing report Matsuo and Tachi (1) showed that though the isolated atrium of rabbit which was beating in vitro took up considerable amounts of noradrenaline added to the bath fluid, the content of noradrenaline of the restarted atrium by addition of nor adrenaline did not significantly differ from the reduced content of noradrenaline of the atrium which was ceased to beat by addition ...

conclusions a right atrium myxoma in a patient with a history of multiple soft tissue tumors has been limited to only a few cases. this may suggest a genomic affinity or similarity; if so, those with multiple different type soft tissue masses should be screened for a heart mass before the mass becomes complicated. introduction heart secondary tumors are much more common than primary tumors. the...

Background: Chronic pressure overload predisposes to heart failure, but the pathogenic role of microvascular endothelial cells (MiVEC) remains unknown. We characterized transcriptional, metabolic, and functional adaptation cardiac MiVEC in mice patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Methods: In Tie2-Gfp subjected transverse constriction or sham surgery, we performed RNA sequencing isolated Gfp + -...

Cholinergic changes of electric activity were studied in isolated atrium preparations from fishes (cod and carp), amphibians (frog) and reptilians (lizard) using the microelectrode technique and high-resolution optical mapping. Perfusion of isolated atrium with acetylcholine (10(-6)-5.10(-5) M) caused gradual suppression of action potential generation and, eventually, completely blocked the exc...

The isolated right atrium of the dog was perfused with arterial blood introduced from a carotid artery of a support dog. The selective injection of dopamine, tyramine and norepinephrine into the cannulated sinus node artery induced dose-relatedly positive chronotropic and inotropic effects. However, for an equal increase in sinus rate, dopamine caused less increase in tension development than n...
