Nervous Mechanisms in Ventricular Arrhythmias Induced by Calcium Chloride in Rats

Abstract
The ventricular arrhythmias induced in rats by standardized doses of calcium chloride are largely prevented by sympatholytic and autonomic blocking drugs, by encephalic and/or upper spinal destruction and by medullospinal section. They are not prevented by bilateral vagotomy, bilateral adrenalectomy, or by lower spinal destruction.
