Autoregulation of cardiac output is overcome by adrenergic stimulation in the anaconda heart

Most vertebrates increase cardiac output during activity by elevating heart rate with relatively stable stroke volume. However, several studies have demonstrated 'intrinsic autoregulation' of cardiac output where artificially increased heart rate is associated with decreased stroke volume,...
