The relation between the duration of the Q-T interval and of the left ventricular systole was studied in dogs with induced hypo- and hypercalcemia. At all studied Ca concentrations the change in the duration of both intervals was of similar magnitude and the relation between the duration of Q-T and ventricular systole was nearly constant as long as the heart rate was regular and the ventricular end-diastolic pressure did not change abruptly. Changes in the Q-T duration were due to changes in the duration of the interval from the end of QRS to the apex of T. In the postextrasystolic beats and during alternans the duration of left ventricular systole changed independently of the duration of the Q-T interval. It was concluded that the ventricular systole adjusts its duration to the duration of repolarization, more specifically to the duration of the plateau of the ventricular action potential, within a wide range of Ca concentrations. An escape from this adjustment occurs when the ventricular filling pressure or volume changes abruptly.

The use of heart block dog preparations allowed an investigation at constant ventricular rates of the hemodynamic effects which resulted when the timing of atrial systole was altered relative to ventricular systole. Ganglionic blockade and vagotomy precluded sympathetic reflex compensation in these animals. Lengthening or shortening the interval between left atrial and left ventricular systole (As-Vs interval) produced a decrease in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), mean aortic pressure, and aortic flow. Mean left atrial pressure (MLAP) increased as did the relation of MLAP to LVEDP. The absence of atrial systole produced similar changes. Lengthening or shortening the As-Vs interval while holding aortic pressure and stroke volume constant resulted in an increase in MLAP and the relation of MLAP to LVEDP. The changes observed in the left atrial pressure tracings suggested and a platinum electrode technique demonstrated that mitral regurgitation can occur with improper timing of atrial systole. The data indicate that properly timed, effective atrial activity can enhance ventricular filling and can preclose the atrioventricular valve.
