title: Comparative analysis of direction, value, and duration atrial pressure of shifts caused by depressor agents.
abstract: Shifts in right- and left-atrial pressure after administration of acetylcholine, histamine, or isoproterenol to cats were oppositely directed in 69% cases; both parameters decreased in 11% cases (changes were more pronounced in the right atrium) and increased in 20% cases (similar shifts). Changes in the left-atrial pressure persisted for a longer time (compared to those in the right atrium) and their dynamics was similar to that of venous return and cardiac output.
