title: [Effect of lithium chloride on several indices of cardiac function].
abstract: Used in a dose of 100 mg/kg lithium chloride modifies the ECG patterns in rats, rabbits and cats. It increases the voltage of P and R waves, the S-T interval and slows down the rhythm of cardiac contractions. In doses of 50-300 mg/kg the compound raises the coronary circulation rate in narcotized cats. The compound exerts an antiarrhythmic action in chlorocalcium arrhythmia in rats, in strophanthin-induced one in cats and frogs and the intensity of this action is not inferior to that produced by potassium chloride, quinidine, novacainamide, izoptin and even exceeds it.
