Journal ArticleDOI
Adenosine increases sympathetic nerve traffic in humans
TL;DR: Adenosine-induced activation of afferent nerves, leading to sympathetic activation, may be a more widespread phenomenon than previously recognized and contrary to the known inhibitory actions of adenosine on central and peripheral efferent systems is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular and respiratory effects of adenosine in conscious man. Evidence for chemoreceptor activation.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the hemodynamic and respiratory effects of adenosine observed in normal volunteers are in part due to chemoreceptor stimulation, raising the possibility thatadenosine is an endogenous modulator of respiration in man.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four faces of baroreflex failure: hypertensive crisis, volatile hypertension, orthostatic tachycardia, and malignant vagotonia.
TL;DR: Although baroreflex failure is not the most common cause of the above conditions, correct differentiation from other cardiovascular disorders is important, because therapy of barore Flex failure requires specific strategies, which may lead to successful control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency. A genetic disorder of cardiovascular regulation.
TL;DR: Dopamine /3-hydroxyIase (DBH) deficiency is a genetic disorder in which affected patients cannot synthesize norepinephrine, epinephrine, and octopamine in either the central nervous system or the peripheral autonomic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that nifedipine and transdermal nitroglycerin are effective in controlling supine hypertension in patients with autonomic failure, however, nifingipine has a prolonged depressor effect and worsens orthostatic hypotension in the morning.
