  • Title: The inotropic and chronotropic responses of the guinea pig and dog myocardium to isoprenaline and salbutamol.
    Author: Hughson RL, Ledsome JR.
    Journal: Can J Physiol Pharmacol; 1975 Apr; 53(2):231-8. PubMed ID: 236817.
    Abstract:
    The relative effects of isoprenaline and salbutamol on the inotropic and chronotropic responses of the denervated myocardium of the chloralose anesthetized dog and of the isolated guinea pig atrium, and the inotropic response of the isolated dog papillary muscle were studied. Both the in vivo dog heart and the in vitro guinea pig atrium displayed a similar relative response pattern to isoprenaline and salbutamol with regard to their inotropic and chronotropic responses. However, a comparison of the relative inotropic responses of the dog heart in vivo and in vitro showed that in vitro, salbutamol has a much lower affinity and efficacy for the adrenergic receptors than isoprenaline.
