    Parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation significantly impact heart rate and AV conduction. Their interactions differ, with AV conduction favoring sympathetic control and sinus rate favoring parasympathetic influence.

    Area of Science:

    • Autonomic Nervous System Physiology
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • The autonomic nervous system regulates cardiac function through parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways.
    • Understanding the interplay between these systems is crucial for comprehending cardiac control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the combined effects and interactions of parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation on sinus node automaticity and atrioventricular (AV) conduction.
    • To determine how different stimulation sequences influence cardiac chronotropic and dromotropic properties.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized covariant analysis with a linear regression model in anesthetized puppies.
    • Assessed effects of parasympathetic (P) and sympathetic (S) stimulation, including quadratic and interaction terms (P x S).

    Main Results:

    • Both parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation, along with their interaction, significantly affected sinus node automaticity and AV conduction (P < 0.0001).
    • Parasympathetic stimulation's quadratic effect was significant for sinus node automaticity, while sympathetic stimulation's quadratic effect impacted both.
    • Parasympathetic predominance controlled sinus rate, whereas sympathetic predominance controlled AV conduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Parasympathetic-sympathetic interactions exhibit functional specificity, varying between sinus node automaticity and AV conduction.
    • AV conduction is highly sensitive to sympathoadrenergic modulation, while sinus node automaticity is more responsive to cholinomimetic influences.
