[Effect of peridural blockade of the heart on the ventricular fibrillation threshold in dogs].

Abstract

Experiments were conducted on dogs with determination of the ventricular fibrillation threshold in animals with intact heart and with myocardial infraction in case of trimecaine injection into the peridural space at the T1--T2 level. The fibrillation threshold was elevated both on account of resorptive trimecaine action and due to the block of the sympathetic heart innervation.
