A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF CARDIAC THRESHOLD VARIABILITY RELATIVE TO RESPIRATION
Bioengineering, pp 269-274

Abstract
This investigation was undertaken to study cardiac threshold variability in dogs relative to the respiratory cycle. It was found that during certain portions of the respiration fixed amplitude threshold stimuli elicited cardiac responses whereas the same stimuli failed to pace during other phases of the breathing cycle.
Although these preliminary studies show that respiration and cardiac threshold are related, there is a temporal variability between the breathing cycle and cardiac excitability from experiment to experiment (day to day) for a given dog or from animal to animal. A possible explaination for this along with further investigations will be summarized.
