title: [Cardiovascular responses of the rat to a prostaglandin endoperoxide analog].
abstract: In the anaesthetized rat, injection of the prostaglandin endoperoxide analog, U 44069, in the right ventricle is vasopressor both in the pulmonary and the systemic circulation. When a moderate dose is used, the hypertensive response of the systemic vascular bed changes in an hypotension. The toxicity seems to be cumulative. At high doses, a vascular collapse is observed sometimes with pulmonary oedema. These findings correlate with the EKG pattern typical for an acute cor pulmonale.
