REDUCTION OF CARDIAC STORES OF NOREPINEPHRINE IN EXPERIMENTAL HEART FAILURE.

Constriction of the ascending aorta in the guinea pig resulted in ventricular hypertrophy and congestive heart failure. In animals with heart failure which were killed 5 to 40 days after constriction, the norepinephrine stores in both ventricles were strikingly reduced; the extent of reduction was related to the severity of the constriction.

Biosynthesis of norepinephrine in isolated canine heart.

Radioactive dopamine was injected into the blood that was perfusing an isolated heart preparation. Analysis of the norepinephrine obtained from the heart 1 hour later demonstrated that it contained radioactivity. Between 1.4 and 10.8 percent of the norepinephrine present had been formed from the dopamine. The turnover of norepinephrine was substantially higher in the ventricles than in the atria.
