Epinephrine release from the adrenal medulla can sensitize the heart to arrhythmias. The effects of ouabain on epinephrine release was studied in cats. Ouabain, a Na-K-ATPase inhibitor, may enhance adrenal release of epinephrine by inhibiting a Na-pump. Ouabain-induced arrhythmias may be due, in part, to increased adrenal epinephrine release.
