title: Angiotensin inhibits action of vagus nerve at the heart.
abstract: The effects of angiotensin II and angiotensin III (Des-Asp angiotensin II) on cardiac vagal nerve endings were studied in intact dogs and in isolated guinea-pig atria. Decreases in heart rate evoked by electrical stimulation of the peripheral end of the cut vagus were attenuated in the presence of angiotensin II and angiotensin III.
