title: Functional activity of 5-HT4 receptors in children with congenital heart disease.
abstract: The effect of 5-methoxytryptamine (5-HT(4) receptor agonist) on the inotropic function of atrial myocardium was studied in children aged 2 months to 17 years, operated on for congenital heart disease. Functional activity of 5-HT(4) receptors was 8.4 times higher in dysfunction of the atrial septum in comparison with other congenital heart diseases. The positive inotropic effects of 5-HT(4) receptor agonist can promote compensation of myocardial work in children with pathological circulation.
