DEMPSEY, PETER J., ZENA T. MCCALLUM, KENNETH M. KENT, AND THEODORE COOPER. Direct myocardial efects of angiotensin 11. Am. J. Physiol. 220(Z) : 477-481. 1971.-There still remains speculation concerning the existence of a direct effect of angiotensin II on ventricular myocardium. Evaluation has been complicated by the sensitivity of the peripheral circulation in intact preparations, reflex mechanisms, and disagreement concerning the role of ganglia and endogenous catecholamine stores. TWO series of experiments were designed that used hearts from normal cats and from cats that had undergone extrinsic cardiac denervation to deplete catecholamines. In the first series, 19 isolated perfused hearts were studied in a Langendorff apparatus. In the second series, tension and transmembrane action potentials were recorded from 20 right ventricular papillary muscles. In normal and denervated ventricular myocardium angiotensin (lo--lo g/ml-lo-” g/ml) elicited a positive inotropic effect characterized by an increased maximum rate of tension rise and rate of relaxation, but not in a shortened time to peak tension. A change in the form of phase 2 of the action potential was noted. These data indicate that angiotensin elicits a direct positive inotropic effect which is independent of intact adrenergic nerves or endogenous catecholamine stores.
