Abstract
Present study was carried to evaluate the cardiotonic effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of Leea macrophylla. This was studied by isolated frog heart perfusion technique. Calcium free ringer solution was used as vehicle for administration of Leea macrophylla extracts and standard drug Digoxin. Both the extracts of plant Leea macrophylla show increase in heart rate and force of contraction in normal heart. The current study reveals that Leea macrophylla improves the function of a hypodynamic heart which is indicative of its cardiotonic activity.
