  • Title: Sympathoadrenal responses during bradycardia-hypotension associated with combined infusion of atrial natriuretic factor and prostaglandin E2.
    Author: McMurray J, Struthers AD.
    Journal: J Hum Hypertens; 1989 Feb; 3(1):61-3. PubMed ID: 2524591.
    Abstract:
    The adrenergic response to an episode of bradycardia and hypotension associated with atrial natriuretic factor and prostaglandin infusion in a healthy male subject is described. Noradrenaline levels did not change despite a profound fall in blood pressure. In contrast, there was an almost thirty-fold increase in adrenaline levels. This dissociated sympathoadrenal response suggests activation of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex.
