title: The effect of a new antidepressant drug, C-45, and imipramine on some hemodynamic parameters in the dog.
abstract: C-45, given to dogs in doses corresponding to 1/30 and 1/10 of LD50 iv, slowed down the cardiac rhythm and depressed systolic, diastolic, and end-diastolic pressures in the left ventricle. A dose of 1/30 of LD50 slightly increased, and a dose of 1/10 of LD50 depressed the indices of contractility of the cardiac muscle. Imipramine produced similar effect but accelerated the cardiac rhythm, and when used in a dose of 1/10 of LD50, it impaired atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction.
