Atrial pacing may help isolate cardiac output effects during handgrip; leaves open translation to patients with cardiovascular disease.
Does atrial pacing alter the cardiovascular response to isometric handgrip in healthy young men?
Atrial pacing increases cardiac output in healthy young men, and isometric handgrip elicits vasoconstriction in vascular beds other than the resting forearm.
Bergenwald et al. (1981) studied this question.
