    Notes: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether chronic (3 or 10 months) administration, via the dinking water, of lead (25 ppm) and/or ethanol (25% v/v) altered the susceptibility of the heart to arrhythmias induced either by coronary artery occlusion or noradrenaline infusion in pentobarbitone-anaesthetised male Sprague-Dawley rats. The cardiac effects of acute intravenous infusions of ethanol (17, 33 and 66 mg kg−1 min−1) were also measured. Chronic exposure to ethanol and/or lead in the drinking water had no marked effect on the severity of arrhythmias occurring within the initial 30 min of coronary artery occlusion. In control rats and in those administered ethanol and/or lead for 10 months, noradrenaline (16 μg kg−1 min−1 given IV 1 h post-occlusion for a 15-min period) induced a similar number of ectopic beats during the infusion period, although these arrhythmias persisted beyond the infusion period in treated animals only. There was a significant accummulation of lead in the bone but not in the blood of lead-treated rats. Blood ethanol concentrations varied considerably between animals, ranging from 0 to 319 mg%. Ethanol (66 mg kg−1 min−1) given acutely and yielding a blood concentration of 174 mg % had a slight antiarrhythmic effect in this model.

    Notes: SUMMARY 1. Intravenous injections of quazodine (6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethylquinazoline, 0–5 mg/kg per min) in pentobarbitone-anaesthetized cats increased heart rate, the maximum rate of pressure development in the left ventricle (LV dP/dt max.), cardiac output and myocardial blood flow, and decreased systemic arterial blood pressure. The effects of this cardiac stimulant were examined 1, 2, and 3 h after the intravenous administration of 2 mg/kg of E. coli endotoxin.2. During the endotoxin shock phase (〉 1 h after endotoxin) the most pronounced effects were decreases in systemic blood pressure and cardiac output and a severe metabolic acidosis.3. Quazodine failed to increase cardiac output during endotoxin shock and the effects on the heart rate and LV dp/dt max. were much reduced. In contrast, quazodine-induced vasodilatation was much more marked.4. It is concluded that there is profound myocardial depression in severe endotoxin shock in the cat and that this cannot be significantly modified by quazodine.

    Notes: SUMMARY 1. The effects of various drugs have been studied on blood flow and oxygen handling (availability, extraction and consumption) in both normal and acutely ischaemic regions of the canine myocardium. Ischaemia was produced by the acute ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery.2. Lidoflazine, like other coronary vasodilator drugs, increases blood flow in the normal myocardium, but does not increase flow through the ischaemic region. Drugs of this type may, in addition, open up ‘shunt’ vessels within the ischaemic region.3. Of three cardiac stimulants studied, only oxyfedrine consistently increases blood flow through the ischaemic region; isoprenaline and glucagon do not.4. Noradrenaline causes marked increases in flow through the ischaemic region: its effect is associated with an increase in coronary pressure in the artery distal to the ligature.5. Evidence is put forward that the critical factor determining flow through ischaemic regions of the myocardium is the transventricular driving pressure. When the effects of various drugs on flow and driving pressure are analysed and compared, the only drugs that increase flow in an ischaemic region are those that increase the pressure gradient across the wall of the left ventricle.

    Notes: Résumé En utilisant comme méthode la calorimétrie interne, nous avons montré que la bradykinine synthétique abaisse la résistance vasculaire dans le myocarde du lapin, du chat et du singe, même à doses aussi réduites que 0,05 µg/kg. Des doses plus fortes (5 µg/kg) augmentent aussi l'activité métabolique du myocarde.

    Notes: Summary The effects of dilazep, a drug which potentiates the actions of adenosine, were examined in a canine preparation that enabled simultaneous measurements to be made of blood flow both in ischaemic areas, and in essentially normal areas, of the canine myocardium. In doses which caused marked and sustained increases in blood flow to the normal myocardium, dilazep did not change either blood flow in the developing infarct or the trans-ventricular perfusion pressure (diastolic peripheral coronary pressure minus left ventricular end-diastolic pressure). Despite the lack of effect on infarct blood flow, the oxygen tension of the blood draining the infarcting area was markedly elevated. It is concluded that dilazep may open up blood vessels in an acutely ischaemic area which do not take part in tissue exchange, and may therefore decrease the efficiency of the myocardial circulation.

    Notes: Summary The infusion of creatine phosphate into the left ventricle of dogs markedly reduced the number of ventricular ectopic beats which normally result from acute coronary ligation. This dose of creatine phosphate (100 mg/kg) had no significant effect on resting haemodynamics or on myocardial metabolism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die regionale Durchblutung des linken Ventrikels, welche mit geheizten Thermosonden gemessen wurde, nahm nach Darmdehnung meistens ab, während der arterielle Blutdruck zunahm. Arrhythmien wurden nicht beobachtet. Wenn der Effekt der Blutdruckerhöhung auf die Koronardurchblutung durch Anwendung partialer Korrelationskoeffizienten ausgeschaltet wurde, dann wurde eine umgekehrte Relation zwischen Myokarddurchblutung und Intestinaldruck gefunden, welches als eine koronare Vasokonstriktion gedeutet wurde. Es wird gefolgert, daß die Dehnung von Hohlorganen zu einem viscero-kardialen Reflex führe kann. Der resultierende Koronarspasmus könnte eine Ursache des Schmerzes bei Angina-pectoris-Patienten sien.
    Notes: Summary The haemodynamic effects of distending the small intestine (with a balloon in the lumen) were examined in cats anaesthetised with chloralose. Particular attention was paid to blood flow changes in localised areas of the left ventricular wall (as assessed using the heated thermocouple technique). Intestinal distension led to an increase in systemic blood pressure but usually to a reduction in myocardial blood flow; no cardiac dysrhythmias were observed. When the effect of increased systemic (perfusion) pressure on blood flow was eliminated (using partial correlation coefficients) flow then bore a negative relationship to intestinal pressure, probably indicating constriction of the myocardial blood vessles. This may indicate that distension of hollow organs can lead to a visceral-cardiac reflex. The resulting coronary vasospasm might be one cause of pain in certain patients with angina pectoris.
