title: Effects of sympathetic stimulation on ventricular refractory periods in cats with acute coronary artery ligation.
abstract: Ventricular refractory periods shorten in the ischemic area following acute coronary artery ligation. Subsequent bilateral sympathetic nerve stimulation reduces disparity in refractory periods across normal, border (peri-ischemic) and ischemic areas.
