Summary

An experimental study was carried out on the effect of rhythmic nerves (causing chronotropic effect) on the change of the cardiac rhythm and tissue respiration, the content of ATP, CP, inorganic phosphorus and glycogen. In positive chronotropic effect, resynthesis of ATP expended on contraction of the cardiac muscle takes place mainly by utilization of CP which is a reserve source of high-energy bonds both for the skeletal and the cardiac muscles. Therefore, the mechanical function of the heart depends on CP content.

In negative chronotropic effect the biochemical changes in the myocardium are insignificant.

In the authors' opinion the rhythmic nerves bring about certain quantitative changes of the biochemical indicaters which are the result of changes in conditions of cardiac function and not special and profound biochemical reorganization.
