Popis: Maintaining hemodynamic stability is the primary goal of clinicians who care for critically ill patients. This requires knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the autonomic nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and their interactions. This chapter reviews the autonomic innervation of the heart and peripheral circulation and the cardiovascular effects of the vasoactive amines and various inotropes.
