Pericardial administration of bradykinin produces state-dependent cardiovascular reflexes mediated through cardiac vagal and sympathetic afferents, providing a useful model for studying cardiac pain and reflex responses.

Pericardial bradykinin elicits anesthesia-dependent reflexes in rats; extends preclinical models for cardiac afferents but leaves human translation open.
McDermott et al. (1995) studied this question.
