Frequency-specific stellate ganglion stimulation sustains pressor effects via contractility in dogs; leaves open translation to human neuromodulation therapies.
Does low frequency stimulation of the stellate ganglion produce sustained increases in systolic and pulse pressures in open chest dogs compared to high frequency stimulation?
Low frequency stimulation of the stellate ganglion produces a sustained pressor response in dogs, likely due to augmented myocardial contraction rather than cardiac acceleration or vasoconstriction.
Rohse et al. (1957) studied this question.
