Minimal carotid sinus inotropy control in healthy dogs; leaves open translation to human ventricular function.
In normal, healthy, conscious dogs, the carotid sinuses exert relatively little control of the inotropic state of the left ventricle, and this small effect is masked by peripheral resistance changes.
Vatner et al. (1972) studied this question.
