We investigated the beta 2-adrenoceptor-mediated effects of atrial and ventricular effective refractory period (ERP), SA node pacemaker activity, and AV conductivity induced by sympathetic nerve stimulation or epinephrine infusion in anesthetized dogs. A beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 118,551 up to 100 micrograms/kg, i.v., inhibited the positive chronotropic and dromotropic responses to sympathetic stimulation but did not shorten the atrial or ventricular ERP, ICI 118,551 also attenuated the positive chronotropic and dromotropic responses and the shortening of atrial ERP in response to epinephrine but not the shortening of ventricular ERP. A selective beta 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, atenolol, inhibited each electrical cardiac response to sympathetic stimulation and epinephrine infusion in a similar manner. These results suggest that beta 2-adrenoceptor-mediated electrical cardiac responses to endogenous catecholamines also exist in addition to the predominant beta 1-adrenoceptor-mediated responses, and that the order of the proportion of beta 2-adrenoceptor-mediated cardiac effects was SA node pacemaker activity much greater than AV conductivity = atrial ERP much greater than ventricular ERP in the dog heart.
