Effect of Low-Frequency Low-Intensity Ultrasound on Contractile Function of Isolated Heart

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Stimulation of the isolated heart with low-intensity low-frequency ultrasound produced a positive inotropic effect (at certain ultrasound intensity). This effect manifested in increased systolic and pulse intraventricular pressures and persisted for tens of minutes after the end of sonication.
