RESUMO

Direct effects of adrenergic stimuli on coronary vessels in dogs were compared with effects on vessels to skin (hind paw) and skeletal muscle (gracilis muscle) after intravenous administration of practolol (2 mg/kg), a selective myocardial beta receptor blocker which minimized indirect effects of myocardial stimulation on coronary vascular resistance. The left circumflex coronary, cranial tibial, and gracilis arteries were perfused separately but simultaneously at constant flow. Perfusion pressures, left ventricular pressure and dP/dt. and heart rate were recorded. Changes in perfusion pressure to each bed reflected changes in vascular resistance.
