Abstract

The nature and dynamics of cardiogenic sympatho-sympathetic reflexes in response to intracoronary administration of veratrin, bradykinin, and to local immune heart injury were studied in anesthetized dogs. The sympatho-sympathetic reflex was shown to occur both in vagotomized and intact animals, though in the latter case the reflex was transformed due to descending influences from the bulbar center. The reflex was the least in case of veratrin administration and it was most obvious in bradykinin application or upon focal immune heart injury which indicates a greater sensitivity of sympathetic receptors to chemical agents.
