Cardiovascular Adaptation to Stress
Abstract
The overall objective of this project was to determine the neural factors which are involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system during various stresses. To achieve these objectives, we have investigated factors which influence the control of heart rate under normal laboratory conditions as well as during stresses such as myocardial ischemia, acute volume expansion or depletion and during exposure to positive acceleration. Our second objective was to establish the contribution of neural reflexes originating from receptors located in the cardiopulmonary and sinoaortic regions of the beat-to-beat control of the heart and the peripheral circulation under various laboratory stresses and during the stress of positive acceleration. The detailed report is broken down into sections. Each section is a separate phase of the overall study. (kt)
