“…In each experiment recordings are shown of, from above down, mean femoral arterial blood pressure (FAP), mean blood pressure in a small branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery (CAP), mean and phasic coronary blood flow (CBF), mean left atrial pressure (LAP) and the electrocardiogram (ECG). Reproduced from Drinkhill, Kaye & Mary, 1989a. the carotid region and which affect the left ventricular inotropic state (see Mary, 1987). Stimulation of the atrial receptors also causes reflex decreases in plasma renin activity and vasopressin level (Bennett, Linden & Mary, 1984;Drinkhill, Hicks, Mary & Pearson, 1988).…”
