A constant‐flow preparation was used to assess coronary arterial resistance while activating pulmonary C fibres in chloralose‐anaesthetized dogs. A Gregg cannula was passed through the left common carotid artery until the tip fitted snugly in the left circumflex coronary artery. The cannula was perfused with blood from the left femoral artery and blood flow through the cannula was maintained constant with a perfusion pump. Perfusion pressure in the coronary artery was measured from a side arm…

Coronary vasodilatation can be evoked by selective stimulation of cardiac chemosensitive vagal C fibres, although the coronary vasodilation of the veratridine‐induced Bezold‐Jarisch reflex may be due to stimulation of both mechanosensitive and chemossensitive C fibre.

Diaphragmatic vasodilation elicited by pulmonary C-fiber stimulation.

Evidence indicates that there is a beneficial effect of this paradoxical vasoconstrictor influence in that it helps preserve flow to the vulnerable inner layer of the left ventricle, but only when both heart rate and coronary flow are high.

Microvascular dilation evoked by chemical stimulation of C-fibers in rats.

Pulmonary C-fibers can exert an inhibitory influence on neural tone of the microcirculation at an important site where microvascular resistance and tissue blood flow are regulated.

Regulation of Coronary Blood Flow.

Current knowledge regarding the physiologic regulation of coronary blood flow is highlighted, with emphasis on functional anatomy and the interplay between the physical and biological determinants of myocardial oxygen delivery.

The central control of the pulmonary chemoreflex

The results of vagal stimulation experiments demonstrate that both populations of cardiac vagal preganglionic neurones have chronotropic action in the cat, rat and rabbit, and both populations are implicated in the pulmonary chemoreflex.

This review focuses on the reflex effects of the stimulation of cardiovascular and visceral receptors on the coronary circulation and factors influencing the cardiac metabolism and physical, humoral, and neural mechanisms.

Pulmonary Stress Induced by Hyperthermia: Role of Airway Sensory Nerves

These studies, once completed, should provide important and novel information for documenting the pulmonary stresses induced by hyperthermia in healthy individuals and in patients with sensitized airways; understanding the mechanism underlying thehyperthermia-induced pulmonary dysfunction; and detecting the susceptibility to heat stress in soldiers with underestimated or overlooked airway hypersensitivity such as in airway allergy or mild asthma.

Bezold-Jarisch-Like Reflex During Brockenbrough's Procedure for Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Focal Left Atrial Fibrillation: Report of Two Cases

Two cases exhibiting a rare complication of Brockenbrough's puncture technique are reported, which arose during the conduct of catheter ablation using radiofrequency energy delivered to the pulmonary vein for the treatment of focal left atrial fibrillation.

Carotid Sinus Reflex Coronary Vasoconstriction during Controlled Myocardial Oxygen Metabolism in the Dog

It is concluded that carotid sinus hypotension results in reflex sympathetic α-receptor coronary vasoconstriction and that this reflex vasconstriction is independent of changes in myocardial oxygen metabolism or changes in aortic pressure.

Carotid Baroreceptor Reflex Coronary Vasodilation in the Dog

It is concluded that carotid sinus hypertension results in a graded reflex neural coronary vasodilation independent of myocardial metabolic factors.

Dependency of myocardial reactive hyperemia on coronary artery pressure in the dog.

The observed pressure dependency suggests that coronary reactive hyperemia may be, in part, a passive flow response that could be explained by a transient depression of the normal vascular reactivity to postocclusion pressure.

Regulation of Coronary Blood Flow during Individual Diastoles in the Dog

During constant pressure perfusion, diastolic coronary vascular resistance is constant during diastole, and when coronary resistance is actively changing, regulation of coronary blood flow occurs continuously during individual diastoles.

α‐Adrenergic‐Mediated Reduction in Coronary Blood Flow Secondary to Carotid Chemoreceptor Reflex Activation in Conscious Dogs

It is concluded that, with autonomic nervous system activity intact, carotid chemoreceptor reflex activation can elicit an absolute reflexly mediated reduction in coronary blood flow in the normal, conscious dog, despite an increase in arterial pressure.

The reciprocal relation between the atrial rate and the coronary vascular tone may indicate a vagal coronary dilator and a sympathetic coronary constrictor effect in the dog.

Interaction of the Chemoreflex and the Pulmonary Inflation Reflex in the Regulation of Coronary Circulation in Conscious Dogs

Nicotine stimulation of the carotid chemoreflex results in a striking coronary dilation that has two components: the major component follows an increase in the depth of respiration, and its efferent component appears to involve withdrawal of alpha-adrenergic constrictor tone.

Tracheal contraction and relaxation initiated by lung and somatic afferents in dogs.

It is concluded that both pulmonary and bronchial C-fibers evoke tracheal contraction, but when capsaicin is injected into the left atrium any effects of stimulating bronchials are masked by the reflex action of somatic afferents, which causetracheal relaxation.
