Abstract

The isolated heart–lung of the dog was introduced by Knowlton and Starling (1912). Since then, the dog model has been used for many physiological and pharmacological studies (Krayer 1931; Krayer and Mendez 1942; Somani and Blum 1966; Takeda et al. 1973; Ishikawa et al. 1978, 1983; Ono and O’Hara 1984; Ono et al. 1984; Caffrey et al. 1986; Hausknecht et al. 1986; Fessler et al. 1988; Seifen et al. 1987, 1988; Naka et al. 1989). More recently, the rat model has been preferred (Dietz 1984, 1987; Onwochei et al. 1987; Onwochei and Rapp 1988; Kashimoto et al. 1987, 1990, 1994, 1995; Fukuse et al. 1995).
