In open-chest, autonomically decentralized, anesthetized dogs, a brief burst of electrical stimuli was delivered at various time delays to the right pulmonary vein (RPV) fat pad. This fat pad contains parasympathetic ganglia that innervate the sinoatrial (SA) node. Each burst elicited a bimodal increase in the cardiac cycle length (CCL) without eliciting a significant change in atrioventricular conduction time (AVCT). A similar burst was applied to the inferior vena cava-inferior left atrial fat pad. This fat pad contains nerves that innervate the AV node. This latter stimulation elicited a bimodal increase in AVCT without eliciting any change in the CCL. When the cervical vagi were stimulated in a similar manner, a bimodal increase in the CCL was elicited that was similar to the response we observed when the RPV fat pad was stimulated. In contrast, the dromotropic response was quite variable. In conclusion, we could, for the most part, elicit selective parasympathetic control of either the SA or the AV node, respectively.

The effects of disopyramide (DP) and a new antiarrhythmic agent, disobutamide (DB) on cardiac conduction were studied using His bundle recording from modified rabbit Langendorff preparations electrically driven at 3 and 4 Hz. Both disopyramide (4–16 μg/mL) and disobutamide (1–30 μg/ml) slowed conduction throughout the atrioventricular conduction system, i.e., SA, AH, and HV intervals were increased in a dose-related manner. Conversion of the conduction time changes to percent changes indicates that disobutamide has a relatively equal effect on each part of the system whereas disopyramide exhibited significantly less effect on AV nodal conduction. Slowing of conduction in the AV node by DP was clearly related to rate. Changes in SA and HV intervals were rate related to a lesser degree. No such rate-related effect was evident with disobutamide. Block of atrial conduction occurred in two out of six hearts when the rate was increased at 8 μg/mL of DP and in three additional hearts at 16 μg/mL. This was interpreted to indicate a change in atrial excitability such that 2 × threshold currents no longer excited the tissues. This was not observed at any concentration of DB.
