SCHMIDT,ROBERT M., MAMORUKUMADA,AND KIICHI SAGAWA. Curdiovascular responses to various pulsatile pressures in the carotid sinus. Am. J. Physiol. 223 (1): l-7. 1972.-To extend the knowledge of the carotid sinus reflex, we forced the isolated sinuses of anesthetized dogs with sinusoidal (pulsatile) pressures using multiple combinations of mean level, amplitude, and frequency of pulsation. The reflex responses of mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance were analyzed at mean sinus pressures of 75, 100, 125, and 150 mm Hg, frequencies of 1, 2, 3, and 4 Hz, and peak-to-peak amplitudes of 25, 50, and 75 mm Hg. Increasing the amplitude of pulsation from 25 to 75 mm Hg while holding the frequency at 2 Hz caused moderate and proportional reductions in arterial pressure, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance, except when the pulsatile pressure was superimposed on mean sinus pressure of 150 mm Hg. In contrast, increasing the frequency of pulsation from 1 to 4 Hz with a fixed amplitude of 50 mm Hg evoked significant responses only after vagotomy at the mean intrasinus pressure of 75 mm Hg. An example of use of the quantitative data gained by this study is discussed in relation to evaluation of the role that the reflex system plays in maintaining mean arterial pressure after a 20$& hemorrhage. We conclude from the above findings that variations of pulse pressure and particularly of heart rate in the physiological range have relatively little reflex effect compared with that of the change in mean intrasinus pressure.

Contrasting effects of static and pulsatile pressure on carotid baroreceptor activity in dogs.

The purpose of this study was to contrast the effects of static and pulsatile pressure on carotid baroreceptor activity over a wide range of mean arterial pressure. Static and pulsatile pressure were applied to the isolated carotid sinus of dogs anesthetized with chloralose. Recordings were obtained from single baroreceptor units as well as from the whole sinus nerve or a large strand of the ne...

Dynamic and static conditioning pressures evoke equivalent rapid resetting in rat aortic baroreceptors.

A recent study suggested that exposure of carotid sinus baroreceptors to pulsatile pressures for a period of minutes can decrease the static threshold pressure at which they begin to discharge; that is, the exposure can sensitize baroreceptors. Another study found that the rapid resetting of carotid sinus baroreceptors to elevated conditioning pressures was reduced or eliminated by pulsatile co...

Effects of fentanyl, nitrous oxide, or both, on baroreceptor reflex regulation in the cat.

We have investigated the effects of fentanyl, nitrous oxide, or both, on carotid sinus baroreceptor reflexes in cats during basal chloralose anaesthesia. The bilaterally isolated carotid sinuses were perfused at prevailing systemic arterial pressure or at predetermined levels of pump-controlled pulsatile pressures of 50-200 mm Hg in steps of 25 mm Hg. Other major baroreceptor sites were denerva...

Baroreceptor reflex control of arterial hemodynamics in the dog.

The regional differentiation of carotid sinus control of arterial pressure-flow relationships was studied in chloralose-anesthetized dogs. Simulatneous pressure-flow measurements were made in the ascending aorta, the celiac artery, the cranial mesenteric artery, the renal artery, and the femoral artery. The carotid sinuses were bilaterally isolated and perfused with pulsatile pressure. The open...
