dc.description.abstract	Whole venom Dendroaspis angusticeps produced a negative chronotropic and ionotropic effect on the heart. Isolation of the fraction (T39) produced the same effect. Negative inotropic effect was blocked by atropine. The bradycardia may be due to a cholinergic effect and the negative ionotropic to a direct depressant effect on the myocardium.
