Summary
When the descending branch of the left coronary artery is compressed the rate of flow of impulses in different cardiac fibers may be affected variously: there may be an increase, a decrease or a fluctuating change at different times after compression of the coronary vessels.
In certain fibers there was no change in impulse rate although these fibers ran from cardiac mechanoceptors located in or near the ischemic zone.
