Abstract

Enhanced hypoxic tachycardia during breath holding in the patients with carotid-body resection was already found by Gross et al.1. However, from the same institute Lugliani et al.2 reported no significant difference in heart rate (HR) during spontaneous hypoxic respiration between such patients and the control subjects, although no quantitative data were presented. Furthermore, disagreement of the role of the carotid bodies on HR are seen among conscious and anesthetized animals reported by number of investigators.
