Heart Autotransplantation: Effect on Myocardial Catecholamine and Histamine

Authors:

Abstract
Complete excision and reimplantation of the canine heart is followed by a fall in myocardial norepinephrine to negligible levels. These decreases are attributable to the sympathetic denervation which necessarily accompanies the operative procedure. Myocardial histamine levels in survivors of this operation were not significantly different from those of normal dogs.
