  • Title: Correlation of the cardiac sensitizing potential of halogenated hydrocarbons with their physicochemical properties.
    Author: Clark DG, Tinston DJ.
    Journal: Br J Pharmacol; 1973 Oct; 49(2):355-7. PubMed ID: 4793336.
    Abstract:
    The cardiac sensitizing potencies of a range of 14 halogenated hydrocarbons were assessed in conscious dogs by comparing the partial pressures (Pcs) needed to sensitize the heart to adrenaline. These were found to be directly related to their saturated vapour pressures (Ps) and the ratio Pcs/Ps was approximately constant although the values of partial pressures differed nearly 700-fold. It is suggested that cardiac sensitization is probably a structurally non-specific action and may be regarded as another example of physical toxicity.
