Carotid baroreceptors were stimulated with graded neck suction in supine and standing volunteers, before and after autonomic blockade, to determine the influence of posture on baroreflex responsiveness. Propranolol significantly augmented baroreflex pulse interval prolongation in the supine position. Upright posture did not modify baroreflex pulse interval responses prior to propranolol, but significantly augmented responses after propranolol. The results suggest that standing enhances baroreflex sensitivity, but that under normal circumstances, this effect is masked by beta-adrenergic stimulation. Augmentation of baroreflex pulse interval prolongation in the supine and standing positions by propranolol may contribute to the effectiveness of this drug in angina pectoris and labile hypertension.
