Digitalis and baroreceptor reflexes in man.

Data in animals indicate that large amounts of digitalis potentiate arterial baroreflexes and that this factor may be important for the cardiovascular effects of the drug. To determine if arterial baroreflex potentiation also exists after administration of therapeutic doses of digitalis in man, we studied how stimulation and deactivation of arterial baroreceptors by phenylephrine and nitroglyce...

Electrically induced monosynaptic reflexes in man.

A monosynaptic reflex produced by electrical stimulation of the mixed nerve in humans (H-reflex) can frequently be evoked in the calf muscles at a stimulus intensity below threshold for the motor nerve fibres. In special states, such as spasticity, low threshold H-reflexes are more easily elicited and more widely distributed in muscles other than the calf It has been reported that centripetal n...
