A trihydroxyindole fluorescent technique was used to measure the concentration of catecholamines in heart muscle taken from 42 patients undergoing open heart surgery. Noradrenaline was the dominant catecholamine and its depletion in the failing heart was confirmed. The distribution of catecholamines within the heart was such that the highest value, 2.64 +/- 0.68 microgram/g, was found in the nonfailing right atrium and the lowest, 0.53 +/- 0.40 microgram/g, in the failing left ventricle.
采用三羟基吲哚荧光技术测定了42例接受心脏直视手术患者心肌中儿茶酚胺的浓度。去甲肾上腺素是主要的儿茶酚胺，且证实其在衰竭心脏中减少。心脏内儿茶酚胺的分布情况为：在无衰竭的右心房中最高，为2.64±0.68微克/克；在衰竭的左心室中最低，为0.53±0.40微克/克。
