title: [Electrocardiographic changes during stimulation of the hypothalamus in the dog].
abstract: Electrical stimulation in the area around the ventro-median nuclei of the hypothalamus of the dog produced changes suggestive of ischaemia in the standard bipolar and epicardial leads, principally over the apical, lateral and diaphragmatic walls of the left ventricle. It is suggested that these changes may be the central expression of orthosympathetic stimulation by released catecholamines on the permeability and membrane potentials of the myocardial cells with respect to ions, especially Ca++.
