RADIOISOTOPES AND HEART-ACTIVITY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4266074
The effect of beta activity on contractions of isolated frog hearts in Ringer solution was investigated. Contractions of isolated hearts were arrested by changing from Ringer to a potassium-rich solution. When this potassium-rich solution was replaced by another of the same composition but containing potassium- 42, the arrested heart started beating. The same reaction was observed when the potassium-42 was replaced by sodium-24 or phosphorus-32. (C.H.)
