BACKGROUND Previous studies have documented abnormalities of arterial baroreflexes in
animals and patients with congestive heart failure. This study determined whether …

Chronic sodium to depletion is associated with a reduced baroreflex responsiveness to
carotid sinus hypotension. One hypothesis to explain the mechanism of the reduced …

In chronic heart failure, neurohumoral mechanisms play an important role in the regulation
of cardiac performance directly, by influencing systolic and diastolic function of the …

Objective: Rapid ventricular pacing reliably induces severe congestive heart failure in dogs,
with an associated attenuation of baroreflex sensitivity. Unique to this model is the capacity …

Summary o 1. Evidence is presented that volume is regulated as an independent parameter.
Thus, expansion of the blood volume by a small blood transfusion leads to diuresis, its …

Describing a convincingly simple model for the cardiovascular system Ernst H. Weber
(1850) was probably the first to recognize that an adequate filling available to the heart is a …

1. Dogs were anaesthetized with chloralose and artificially ventilated. The receptors at three
pulmonary vein‐atrial junctions and in the left atrial appendage were stimulated by …

A large gap in our knowledge of the reflex control of the circulation still exits in the setting of
chronic heart failure. This symposium will provide state‐of‐the‐art experimental data on the …

Patients with heart failure exhibit a neurohumoral excitatory state and abnormal baroreflex
control of the cardiovascular system. We determined whether arterial baroreflexes are …

Heart failure is known to impair arterial baroreceptor control of heart rate. To determine if
baroreceptor control of peripheral vascular resistance is also impaired, heart rate and hind …
