Popis: Previous studies have suggested that the Angiotensin-(1-7) [(Ang-(1-7)] can change cardiac function by modulating the autonomic nervous system. However, it is unknown whether the Ang-(1-7) can modulate the effect of acetylcholine (ACh) in ventricular contractility. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether Ang-(1-7) modifies the amplitude of the cardiac cholinergic effects and if these effects are intrinsic to the heart. In anesthetized Wistar rats, Ang-(1-7) attenuated the effect of ACh in decreasing the left ventricular end-systolic pressure (LVESP), dP/dt
