Abstract
When high hydrostatic pressure was applied to isolated ventricle muscle, the results were obtained as follows: (1) The excitability of cardiac muscle augments by the pressure from 50 to 200 atm. (2) The response to electric stimuli disappears at high pressure (400 atm. or more). (3) It is interesting that the excitability of ventricle muscle rises transiently upon release from high pressure.
