[Neural regulatory effects on the contractility of heart ventricles]

As a result of acute experiments on cats we revealed the approaches to choosing the best indices of the contractility of the left and the right cardiac ventricles in the concrete conditions of the experiment on the basis of the original criterion of optimality. For revealing neural inotropy influences we suggest the index based on the combined changes of optimum indices. A new approach to revealing reflex influences on contractility in the conditions of intact blood circulation is worked out, which is based on the comparison of these influences with the control changes of haemodynamic parameters.
