Influence of Paired Stimulation on the Electro-mechanical Dissociation During Low Calcium Perfusion of Isolated Rat Hearts
From the University Department of Cardiology and Clinical Physiology, Wilhelmina-Gasthuis, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Authors' Synopsis: During electro-mechanical dissociation in isolated rat hearts caused by low calcium perfusion, paired stimulation restored the contractions. The main factor determining the size of these contractions is the duration of the interval between the two stimuli forming a pair.
