Haemodynamic effect of the venom of Bitis Gabonica in the dog.

Intravenous injection of 0.125 mg/kg of venom of Bitis Gabonica in the anaesthetized dog produces an immediate but reversible decrease in total peripheral and coronary vascular resistance. Stroke volume show a transient increase followed by an irreversible reduction. A second dose of 0.25 mg/kg produces the same effect on total peripheral and coronary vascular resistance, but furtherly reduces the stroke volume. A third dose of 0.50 mg/kg kills the animal after an extreme reduction of the stroke volume. The progressive decrease of the stroke volume might be due to a failure of the ventricle to relax, whereas its transient increase immediately after the injection depends on the abrupt fall of the total peripheral resistance.

Effect of multiple arterial haemorrhage on the coronary circulation.

In the open-chest anesthetized dog, multiple arterial haemorrhage induces a reduction of the mean coronary flow, an absote or relative increase of the phasic flow during the early ventricular ejection phase and a decrease during the remaining phases of the cardiac cycle. When blood pressure falls sharply during the haemorrhage, coronary vascular resistance increases, whereas it does not change or decreases when blood pressure falls slowly. Moreover, coronary vascular resistance decreases transiently after the stoppage of the haemorrhage.

Effect of acute arterio-venous fistulae on mean and phasic coronary flow in the dog.

The effect of acute arterio-venous fistula on mean and phasic coronary flow was studied on 4 open-chest dogs. When the pressure is basically high, after the opening of the fistula the fall which coronary flow shows during the isometric systole occurs to a lesser extent; conversely, when the pressure is basically normal, the fall of the coronary flow may be absent.
