Abstract

In experiments on cats with dissected vagus and aortal nerves under chloralose-urethane anesthesia, ventricular disorders of the cardiac rhythm were induced by ligation of the common carotid arteries. Appearance of arrhythmias was preceded by an increase in the sympathetic activity (recorded from the inferior cardiac or renal nerve) accompanied by a rise of the arterial blood pressure and of the heart rate. Intravenous injection of lithium chloride or hydroxybutyrate resulted in lowering of the sympathetic activity, arterial blood pressure, and heart rate, and led to the recovery of the sinus rhythm.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
