title: Influence of imipramine on the circulatory system in the course of endogenous depressive syndromes. II. Influence of imipramine on vascular reflexes.
abstract: In patients with endogenous depression imipramine normalizes vascular responses in vegetative tests (orthostatic test, Schellong's test, cold pressor test). The highest percentages of normal vegetative tests during treatment with imipramine were observed in patients in remission of symptoms of depression. The orthostatic tests seem to have the highest diagnostic value. In tests based on measurement of surface temperature imipramine improved function of the vascular system.
