Mechanism of vasopressin-induced bradycardia in dogs.

In dogs anesthetized with intravenous chloralose, vasopressin was injected either intravenously or into the cerebral ventricles, and the cardiovascular effects were studied before and after stabilizing the arterial blood pressure, bilateral vagotomy, and transection of the cervical cord at the level of C2. Intravenous vasopressin caused a rise in arterial blood pressure and pronounced bradycard...

Fluoxetine induced bradycardia in presenile dementia.
