Some Cardiovascular Manifestations of the Experimental Neurosis in Sheep

O. D. ANDERSON 1, RICHARD PARMENTER 1, and HOWARD S. LIDDELL 1

1 Department of Physiology, Cornell University Medical College, Ithaca, N. Y.

Sheep in which an experimental neurosis has been developed reveal, upon examination, a cardiac disorder which is characterized by a rapid and irregular pulse and by extreme sensitivity of the heart's action to conditioned and other stimulation. Rapid increases of rate occur in response to mildly startling stimuli which have no effect upon the pulse of normal sheep. Spontaneous variations of rate are observed both in the barn and in the laboratory. Conditioned stimulation produces a considerable and long continued increase in pulse rate associated with premature beats and sometimes with coupled rhythm. A case history depicts the gradual onset of these cardiac manifestations in a sheep during the development of experimental neurosis.
