Abstract

The study examined the effect of clonidine hydrochloride (10-9-10-5 М) on electrical activity of working cardiomyocytes in rat right atrium. Stimulation of α2-adrenergic receptor with clonidine changed electrical activity of the heart. All tested concentrations of the agonist lengthened the action potential and decreased the firing rate of cardiomyocytes in a dose-dependent manner. The maximum effects of clonidine were observed at concentration of 10-5 М.
