title: Effect of citrocard on functional reserves of the heart under conditions of chronic stress.
abstract: Chronic stress exposure produces a damaging effect on the myocardium and reduces its functional (inotropic) reserves. Citrocard (50 mg/kg) and fenibut (50 mg/kg) prevent stress effects: animals receiving these preparations demonstrate higher contraction and relaxation rates and higher left-ventricular pressure during functional tests (volume load and maximum isometric load).
