Summary
The afferent neurons of the heart were the first to be affected in cats subjected to the action of ultra-high-frequency field from 2 to 10 hours. The receptor fibers of sensory endings, mainly the preterminal sections were mostseverely damaged. Altered nerve cells were seen in the spinal cord ganglia (Th1-Th3) and vagal nerve ganglia. No alterations were noted in the vegetative centers of the heart.
The assumption of an intense sensitivity of the afferent neurons to the chronic effect of the ultra-high-frequency field has thus been confirmed.
