Abstract
The coronary flow and peripheral output of the heart have been determined simultaneously before and after the administration of pituitary extract. The results indicate that coronary spasm is at least one of the important factors which may cause a fall of blood pressure under certain circumstances when pituitary is administered. Possible complications due to the constriction of the pulmonary vessels and of a direct action upon the heart muscle are also discussed.
