[Effects of medullary pyramidal stimulation on myocardial contractility in anesthetized dogs]. 1980

In anaesthetized dogs, medullary pyramid stimulation produces a decrease of myocardial contractility. The peak of the first derivative of the left ventricular pressure (dP/dt max) was used to assess myocardial contractility; this index is independent of afterload. Medullary pyramid stimulation produces a decrease of dP/dt max and of the maximal left ventricular pressure (L.V.P. max) also, after bilateral vagotomy. But the same stimulation induces only a decrease of L.V.P. max after inhibiting beta-adrenergic efferences and bilateral vagotomy. Just as corticopyramidal fibres inhibiting alpha-adrenergic vascular tone, one does consider the existence of corticopyramidal fibres inhibiting beta-adrenergic efferences to myocardium.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014630 Vagus Nerve The 10th cranial nerve. The vagus is a mixed nerve which contains somatic afferents (from skin in back of the ear and the external auditory meatus), visceral afferents (from the pharynx, larynx, thorax, and abdomen), parasympathetic efferents (to the thorax and abdomen), and efferents to striated muscle (of the larynx and pharynx).
