The effect of verapamil on the functional state of the ischemic myocardium, the myocardial tolerance to ischemia and the processes of urgent adaptation of the heart in the coronary artery occlusion was investigated in the experiments on anesthetized open-chest cats. Verapamil was shown to exert the dose-dependent anti-ischemic action, to increase the myocardial tolerance to ischemia, to suppress the response to the physiological saline infusion and not to change adrenoreactivity of the ischemic myocardium at the coronary artery compression.
