Abstract

Examination of 20 individuals without any pathological conditions of the cardiovascular system and 8 patients with myocardial hypertrophy has shown that the hypocalciemic hormone of the thyroid gland thyrocalcitonin has a certain negative inotropic effect and does not possess chrono- and dromotropic affects. The mechanism of the cardiac effect of thyrocalcitonin is evidently due to its effect on the metabolism of calcium and its transportation in the myocardial structures.
