Paradoxical reflex bradycardia after epinephrine infusion for arrhythmia induction in the electrophysiology laboratory
2018, HeartRhythm Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :When activated, these baroreceptors trigger an increase in parasympathetic output and decrease in sympathetic tone, which combine to induce bradycardia and hypotension.6 This reflex is operative when carotid sinus massage is used to diagnose and treat SVTs.7 The Bezold-Jarisch reflex is stimulated by mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors located in the myocardium.8
Death caused by cardioinhibitory reflex cardiac arrest-A systematic review of cases
2011, Forensic Science InternationalCitation Excerpt :Franke [4] delineated in his papers different types of responses of the syndrome of the carotid sinus with important interindividual variations. The regulatory effect of carotid sinus stimulation is often used in cardiology for diagnosis [5] and therapy [6]. The evaluation of the dangers of neck compression without restriction of the arterial flow remains unresolved in forensic medical practice.

2007, American Journal of MedicineShort trains of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) have parameter-specific effects on heart rate
2018, Brain StimulationCitation Excerpt :Interestingly, closed-loop HR maintenance has also been described in a VNS pig model [7]. One can experience this vagal-mediated decrease in HR in humans through gentle rubbing on the vagus nerve via the carotid sinus, a technique known as carotid massage [8,9]. Clinically, VNS is FDA-approved for epilepsy, treatment-resistant depression, and morbid obesity.
