1 From the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research, Rahway, N. J.
1. A method is described which permits the continuous recording of the heart rate on an ordinary smoked paper or ink kymograph.
2. Epinephrine (40 micrograms) and carbaminoyl choline (1-10 micrograms) decrease the heart rate. The depression of the heart rate due to vagal stimulation lasts considerably longer than the concomitant changes in the blood pressure.
3. In the atropinized cat, the increase in the heart rate following epinephrine is of the same duration as the increase in blood pressure.
