Reflex vascular responses to acute left ventricular outflow obstruction were studied in anesthetized dogs. The studies were done to compare the effects of activation of ventricular baroreceptors on vascular resistance in skeletal muscle (gracilis muscle) and skin (hindpaw); to identify afferent and efferent pathways which mediate the reflex vasodilatation; and to assess the relative contribution of ventricular baroreceptors and baroreceptors in left atrium and pulmonary vessels in responses to left ventricular outflow obstruction. The gracilis artery and the cranial tibial artery to the paw were perfused separately at constant flow. Changes in perfusion pressure to each bed reflected changes in vascular resistance. Outflow obstruction was produced by inflating a balloon in the left ventricular outflow tract for 15 s while pressures in the left ventricle and aortic arch were measured.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
