Abstract:Adenosine (ADO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) play an important role in the regulation of myocardial functions. The pericardial fluid accumulates these regulatory agents and reflects well their levels in the myocardial interstitium. The aim was to investigate the interaction and cardiovascular effects of ADO and ET-1 evoked from the pericardial space, determine the pericardial elimination of intrapericardially applied adenosine and its first metabolite, inosine (INO) and observe their effects on the cardiovascular f… Show more
