Bhadycardia in Isolated Hearts Induced by Microwave Irradiation

Continuous 960 MHz irradiation (estimated 5 mW absorbed) of isolated poikilothemic hearts in Ringer's solution causes bradycardia, in contrast to the tachycardia usually produced by generalized heating. The effect appears to occur only over a narrow power range.
