Norepinephrine (NE), a mixed alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist, phenylephrine (PE) and methoxamine (M), selective alpha-1 adrenoceptor agonists, and B-HT 920, a selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist, were injected i.v. after ganglionic (hexamethonium), beta adrenoceptor (propranolol) and muscarinic receptor (atropine methyl bromide) blockade.

Then, in addition, the main neurohumoral effects on the cardiac pacemaker were eliminated by three different pharmacologic treatments: (1) the cardiac nerves were blocked by instilling 2% procaine into the pericardial sac, (2) cardiac beta-adrenoceptors and cholinergic receptors were blocked with intravenous propranolol and hyoscine methyl bromide, (3) the above treatments were combined with autonomic ganglion-blockade by intravenous pentolinium.

A technique of intrapericardial administration of beta-adrenoceptor and muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist drugs has been tested in conscious rabbits.
Intrapericardial hyoscine methyl bromide (10 micrograms/kg) abolished baroreflex vagal effects on heart rate as effectively as did the conventional, 5-fold greater, intravenous dose.

No significant group differences in cardiac frequency and various indices of myocardial performance (peak dP/dt, time-to-peak dP/dt, Vmax) were demonstrable either before or after cholinergic blockade with intravenous atropine methyl bromide, 1 mg/kg.
Thus, the attenuation in cardiac responsiveness to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation in chronic hypoxia appears unrelated to the level of vagal activity, but may be attributable to enhanced enzymatic inactivation of catecholamines.

Blockade of cardiac muscarinic receptors with atropine methyl bromide elicited greater attenuation of BRS (PE) in male than in female rats (72+/-4.6 vs. 53+/-6.7% inhibition; p < 0.01) and abolished the gender difference.
In male rats cardiac muscarinic blockade attenuated BRS (PE) significantly more than did cardiac beta-adrenergic receptor blockade with propranolol (72+/-4.6 vs. 43+/-2.7; p < 0.01), which suggests greater dependence of BRS (PE) on the parasympathetic component.

Following cardiac autonomic blockade with propranolol and scopolamine methyl-bromide, both clonidine and labetalol produce a positive inotropic response.
