Title: [Potentiation and restitution of the myocardial contractility of rats adapted to physical stress]. Author: Pfaĩffer K, Kapel'ko VI, Meerson FZ. Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1976 Jul; 82(7):780-2. PubMed ID: 953329. Abstract: Initial contractile amplitude of the myocardial strips determined the inotropic response to paired stimulation. The higher the initial amplitude -- the lesser the degree of potentiation and the greater the degree of contraction restitution. At equal amplitudes the myocardial strips taken from rats adapted to exercise showed a greater degree of potentiation and a lesser degree of restitution as compared to control. These changes appear to be due to the changes in the ionic transport in the myocardial cells.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
