Rat atrial muscle responses with caffeine: dose-response, force frequency, and postrest contractions.

abstract：:The blood volume of anesthetized rats was expanded acutely by 33% with donor blood while a caval snare was gradually tightened so that right atrial pressure (RAP) was prevented from rising (n = 6). In control experiments (n = 5) an aortic snare was used to hold mean arterial blood pressure near the values found in the...
