title: [Dynamics of the vagus effect on the cardiac rhythm during blockade of various subtypes of M-cholinoreceptors in cats].
abstract: While single vagus bursts were used in cats with an incremental time delay following P-wave of the ECG, two zones were identified within the cardiac cycle differing from each other by their chronotropic responses. At the initial (approximately 120-130 ms) part of the cardiac cycle, an increase in the P-stimulus interval evoked a "moderate" (+8-16%) increment of the chronotropic response up to its maximal amplitude. Further increase of that interval provoked an "abrupt" (-80-90%) decrease of the vagus response. Block of M1-(pirenzepine), M2-(metoctramine and gallamine) or M3-(DAMP) cholinoreceptors diminished vagally-induced minimal and maximal prolongation of the ECG P-P interval and decreased the amplitude of its alterations associated with varying the position of vagus stimulus within the cardiac cycle. The coefficient delineating magnitude of the vagus effect over a zone with "moderate" changes of the chronotropic response was decreased after blocking the M1- and M2-cholinoreceptors, whereas duration of that zone was shortened following blockade of the M1- and M3-receptors. Velocity of the original vagus response and the rate of its subsequent decline decreased following blockade of the M1- and M2-subtypes of cholinoreceptors.
