Effects of Heart Rate on the Pump Function and Electrophysiological Characteristics of the Heart in the Frog Rana temporaria

The aim of the study was to investigate the electrical activity and contractility of the heart ventricle in frogs Rana temporaria (n=14) under different heart rates. The activation time (AT, as dV/dtmin during QRS complex), the repolarization time (RT, as dV/dtmax during ST-T wave), and the activati...
