Attenuated Bainbridge reflex in humans cautions against extrapolating animal volume-loading responses; leaves open clinical relevance in humans.
Does the magnitude of the Bainbridge reflex (tachycardia with volume loading) vary across species including man, baboons, and dogs?
The Bainbridge reflex is present in humans but its magnitude is significantly decreased compared to nonprimate mammals and subhuman primates.
Boettcher et al. (1982) studied this question.
