title: [Relations between changes of the pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics following neurogenic stimuli].
abstract: The character and values of changes of the pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics following neurogenic stimuli application on the cardiovascular system were studied in acute experiments on the anesthetized cats. Vagus nerve stimulation reduced the heart rate and decreased myocardial contractility in result, right and left atrial pressure increased, whereas pulmonary pressure and flow, venous return, cardiac output and venous return decreased. Pulmonary pressure reached maximal level and returned to the initial value earlier than the pulmonary flow. On the contrary, pulmonary pressure, following neurogenic pressor stimuli, reached maximal level and returned to the initial value later than the pulmonary flow; the sign of the changes of the pulmonary pressure could be positive or negative, whereas pulmonary flow were always increased. The venous return did not change, and for this reason it could not cause the increasing of pulmonary flow which was elevated following increasing of the heart rate and myocardial contractility. The shifts of the pulmonary pressure were correlated with the pulmonary resistance those, which were increased after the stellate ganglion stimulation and decreased following carotid reflex; they did not change in case of sciatic nerve stimulation. The shifts of the pulmonary pressure did not depended on the decreased right and left atrial pressures. When the pulmonary flow was always increased, the cardiac output following electrical stimulation of the stellate ganglion and sciatic nerve was elevated, and it was decreased following carotid reflex, i. e. linear correlation between these parameters were not found. Pulmonary and systemic arterial pressure changes were more obvious in case of direct neurogenic stimuli application comparing with reflectory ones; in both cases, the positive chrono- and inotropic cardiac effects were similar.
