Sympathetic modulation contributes to reflex tachycardia during volume loading in dogs; hypothesis-generating for autonomic control in humans, requires clinical validation.
Does sympathetic denervation alter cardiovascular responses to acute volume loading in conscious dogs?
The primary efferent pathway for reflex tachycardia during volume loading is via the vagus nerve, but responses are modulated by sympathetic neural activity.
Bishop et al. (1976) studied this question.
