title: New arguments for positive inotropic vagal influence on cardiac contractility in cats.
abstract: Vagal influences on the heart were studied in narcotized cats, in which the cardiotropic effects of sympathetic nerves, heart rate, and pre- and afterload were excluded. Under these conditions vagus nerve exerted only a positive inotropic effect probably mediated by an unknown humoral factor.
