TLDR
Patients with supraVentricular tachycardia may be terminated by manual pressure on the carotid sinuses or by the administration of parasympathomimetic or of pressor agents.Abstract:
SUPRAVENTRICULAR tachycardia may be terminated by manual pressure on the carotid sinuses or by the administration of parasympathomimetic or of pressor agents. Recently developed technics for the tr...read more

Arterial Baroreflexes in Humans
Giuseppe Mancia,Allyn L. Mark +1 more
TL;DR: The sections in this article are: Carotid Sinus Massage, Arterial Baroreceptor Control of Heart Rate, and Modification of Arteria Baroreflexes by Drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Autonomic Blockade on the Baroreflex in Man at Rest and During Exercise
TL;DR: It is concluded that reflex heart rate changes following sudden changes of arterial pressure are predominantly parasympathetic, and diminish during exercise in parallel with the decrease of parASYmpathetic tone.

Blood pressure control with selective vagal nerve stimulation and minimal side effects
Dennis T. T. Plachta,Mortimer Gierthmuehlen,Oscar Cota,Nayeli Espinosa,Fabian Boeser,Taliana C. Herrera,Thomas Stieglitz,Joseph Zentner +7 more
TL;DR: A novel method for selective VN stimulation to reduce BP without triggering significant bradycardia and bradypnea is presented and is robust to impedance changes, independent of the electrode's relative position, does not compromise the nerve and can run on implantable, ultra-low power signal processors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vagal techniques for termination of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
TL;DR: The extent of increased vagal tone needed to terminate paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was raised by augmented sympathetic tone (infusion of isoproterenol) and decreased by reduced sympathetictone (pretreatment with propranolol).

TL;DR: The HOPE4HF trial is introduced, a randomized outcomes trial designed to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of BAT in the HFpEF population, and the evidence suggesting that BAT may be a promising therapy forHFpEF is reviewed.

Studies on Starling's Law of the Heart
TL;DR: Evidence was presented that in intact human subjects the characteristics of left atrial and left ventricular contraction are functions of the pressures in these chambers prior to the onset of their contraction, thus lending further support to the concept that Starling9s law is operative in the human heart.

Relief of Angina Pectoris by Electrical Stimulation of the Carotid-Sinus Nerves
TL;DR: In the setting of severe coronary-artery disease, the ability of the coronary vascular bed to dilate is limited so that methods designed to decrease myocardial oxygen requirements may provide a more fruitful approach.

Chronic carotid sinus nerve stimulation in the treatment of essential hypertension
TL;DR: Electrical stimulation of the carotid nerve has effected reversal of systemic arterial hypertension and the physiologic basis for this new therapeutic approach and the laboratory experiences with acute and prolonged stimulation are reviewed.

Surgical treatment of hypertension with reference to baropacing
Bilgutay Am,C. Walton Lillehei +1 more
TL;DR: Baropacing attempts to achieve this result through restoring the baroreceptor function in hypertensive states towards normal, thus lowering the blood pressure, and might be considered a form of “total body physiologic sympathectomy.”
