Comparative Study[Assessment of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex in experimental myocardial infarction].
To evaluate the cardiogenic depressor Bezold-Jarisch reflex in rats with chronic myocardial infarction. ⋯ The experimental chronic myocardial infarction in rats is followed by significant attenuation of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex, probably as result of a heart failure and, consequently, of functional alterations in the chemosensitive receptors of cardiac unmyelinated vagal afferents.
