Effects of prostacyclin on systemic and coronary hemodynamics in the dog.

abstract：:We tested the efficacy of microwave-frequency energy for ablating atrial tachycardia in eight open-chest dogs. Five other dogs served as controls. Atrial tachycardia was induced by direct application of aconitine crystals to the epicardial atrial surface or by injection of aconitine solution (0.15 mg/ml) into the righ...
