The role of adrenergic stimulation in Rb(+) uptake in normal and ischemic areas of pig hearts was investigated using an agonist (dobutamine) and an antagonist (S-propranolol). The left anterior descending artery (LAD) in isolated pig hearts was cannulated to maintain adequate perfusion of the LAD be

The effects of drugs that can modulate passive permeability of K(+) into cardiomyocytes in normal and reperfusion-damaged cardiac muscle were assessed. Rubidium ion (Rb(+)) was used as a K(+) tracer and (87)Rb-MRI as a detection method. The left anterior descending artery (LAD) of isolated pig heart
## Abstract In this work the roles of coronary flow (CF) and metabolism in Rb^+^ (K^+^ congener) uptake were studied. In isolated pig hearts the left anterior descending artery (LAD) was cannulated to maintain adequate perfusion of the LAD bed. Rb^+^ loading was initiated and the LAD flow was eithe
