STARLING'S LAW AND X-RAY DENSITY CHANGES OF HEART SHADOW

Abstract
Utilizing electro-kymography, a method has been described which, it is believed, will record rapid changes in the size of the heart within the intact chest. This method has been used to show that in the intact animal the heart follows Starling''s law during the period after vagal stimulation. Under epinephrine, the heart responds to a given load of work with less dilation than under control conditions.
