Abstract
Does Atropine influence the cardiac rhythm and the power of the heart's contractions by direct action on its muscular tissue, and if so, to what extent and under what conditions? It is my purpose therefore in this work to determine the pharmacological action of atropine on cardiac muscle, using the heart strip in place of the whole heart, where one would obtain both the nervous and muscular effects.
