What's the effect of the sympathetic stimulation on the cardiac function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adrenalin: Sympathetic stimulation causes the heart to beat faster and harder. BP rises as total vascular resistance increases. Cardiac output increases as heart rate and stroke volume increase. Myocardial oxygen consumption increases.
