Changes in plasma noradrenaline concentration following sympathetic stimulation by gradual tilting
Cardiovasc Res.
1978 Mar.
Abstract
Plasma noradrenaline concentration was determined by a radioenzymatic method in 10 normal individuals who were subjected to a stepwise tilt through 45 degrees. A gradual increase in noradrenaline was observed with maximal values occurring in most subjects following the full 45 degrees of tilt. Maximal levels were sustained for up to 30 min. In two subjects who fainted, the syncopal episode followed an initial sympathetic postural response as shown by a rise in plasma noradrenaline. For the remaining subjects a significant correlation was found between changes in plasma noradrenaline and mean arterial pressure.
