There was a correlation between the Er ATPase activity and plasma Na,K-ATPase-inhibitory potency (m-0.64, p< 0.001) in patients with ANI. Plasma inhibitory of activity was blocked by AA. The data presented sug eat an increase circulating EDLP in AW, that plays probably a cer f ain role in pathogenesis of ischemia-induced cardiac arrhythmia.

TISSUE DISTRIBUTION OF FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR (FGF) IN ISCHRMIC, COLLATERALIZED PIG MYOCARDIUM Schott, Wolfgang Quinkler, Hari Sabine Bernotat-Danielowski, Robert J. S. Sharma, Peter Kremer, Wolfgang Schaper, Max-Planck-Institute and Kerckhoff-Clinic, Bad Nauheim, FRG We induced a progressive coronary artery stenosis in pig hearts by implanting an ameroid constrictor around the left coronary circumflex artery (CX). The subtotal occlusion results in the growth of new vessels and enlargement of existing ones in the ischemic area. We investigated the presence and tissue distribution of FGF in ischemic and con-

trol heart tissue using monoclonal antibodies raised against aFGF purified from bovine heart (Mr 16 kD) and against recombinant bFGF (Mr 18 kD). Only in the ischemic region, where collateralisation was

Interstitial tissue stained. bFGF was detected neither in ischemic nor heart. These results indicate that aFGF, but not ischemic myocytes and may play an important role duced angiogenesis.
