Inotropic effect of prostacyclin (PGI2) on isolated rat atria at different contraction frequencies

The effects of a wide range of Prostacyclin (PGI2) concentrations on the Isometric Developed Tension (IDT) of isolated left auricles driven at different frequencies (0.8, 1.6 or 3.3 Hz) were explored. A comparison of the positive inotropism of PGI2, norepinephrine (NE), tyramine and phenylephrine (P...
