Do you know which are effects of parasympathetic stimulation on heart? There are 4 or 5 effects, but one of them is the most important. Do you know which one?

  #2

i think it's P-R interval tht is quite significant clinically as well! remember digoxin mediated parasympathomimetic effect!

It is important also to say that A Ch increase permeability to potassium in the SA node, doing so, it decrease the automaticity of the node, decreasing the heart rate.


  #4

nod The main effect is on heart rate. Do you know why parasympathetic stimulation has only a small influence on heart contractility (inotropy)?

  #5

first of all it's receptors are present on mainly AV-node and SA- node and atrial muscles...however ventricles are not directly influneced by PANS .
