Effects of Cardiac Glycosides on Autonomic Nervous System and Endocrine Glands

  • Chapter
Cardiac Glycosides

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 56 / 1))

Abstract

It has been known for over a century that the cardiac glycosides affect the autonomic nervous system and that both the sympathetic and parasympathetic components can be involved. This review will look mainly at the evidence for the autonomic effects of peripherally administered cardiac glycosides as well as postulated mechanisms and will not consider in great detail work concerned with the effects of the cardiac glycosides on the central nervous system.
