abstract：OBJECTIVE:Rapid ventricular pacing reliably induces severe congestive heart failure in dogs, with an associated attenuation of baroreflex sensitivity. Unique to this model is the capacity for rapid recovery of haemodynamics and plasma noradrenaline following the cessation of pacing; however, whether baroreflex sensitiv...
