Overview

Bezold-Jarisch reflex is the occurrence of bradycardia and hypotension through a pathway involving cardiac receptors, medullary centers and vagal afferent nerves.[1] It results from cardiovascular depressor reflex involving a marked increase in vagal efferent discharge to the heart, elicited by stimulation of mechanoreceptors, primarily in the left ventricle. This leads to bradycardia and dilatation of the peripheral blood vessels with resulting lowering of the blood pressure. [2] [3] [4] Bezold-Jarisch reflex is responsible for 61% of bradyarrhythmia that occur within the first 60 minutes of inferoposterior myocardial infarction.[5] In addition, it is considered a good prognostic indicator of successful early reperfusion and coronary artery patency in the setting of thrombolysis after inferoposterior MI.

Historical Perspective

Bezold-Jarisch reflex is named after Albert von Bezold and Adolf Jarisch.[6][7] The concept of this reflex originated by Bezold in 1867 after injecting experimental animals with intravenous injection of veratrum alkaloids,[1] and was later revised by Jarisch in 1937.[7] It was described as a variety of cardiovascular and neurological processes which cause hypopnea (overly shallow breathing or an abnormally low respiratory rate) and bradycardia (abnormally low resting heart rate).[8]

Physiology

Bezold-Jarisch reflex is the occurrence of bradycardia and hypotension through a pathway involving cardiac receptors, medullary centers and vagal afferent nerves.[1] Bezold-Jarisch reflex originates from inhibitory mechanoreceptors that are located in the left ventricle, particularly in the inferoposterior wall. The stimulation of these receptors occurs in the context of stretching and contraction of a poorly filled ventricle. Once stimulated, these mechanoreceptors stimulate parasympathetic pathways and inhibits the sympathetic pathways. The result of this reflex is a constellation of bradycardia, vasodilation and hypotension in addition to increase renin and vasopressin release.[7]

Below is an image that illustrates the physiology of Bezold-Jarisch reflex.

Clinical Implications

Bezold-Jarisch reflex plays a role in the following clinical conditions:

Acute Inferoposterior Myocardial Infarction

  • Bezold-Jarisch reflex is responsible for 61% of bradyarrhythmia that occur within the first 60 minutes of MI,[9] and it explains the occurrence of AV node block in the context of acute posterior or inferior myocardial infarction.[10]
  • It is hypothesized that this reflex is a protective reflex that vasodilates the coronary arteries in the setting of posterior infarction associated with coronary vasospasm.[11] Bradycardia in this setting may be treated with atropine.

Reperfusion

  • Bezold-Jarisch reflex can occur in acute inferior MI after thrombolysis. In fact, it is a prognostic sign for early reperfusion as it occurs in 94% of cases of successful early thrmobolysis in inferior MI.
  • In addition, it is a prognostic factor for coronary patency as it occurs in 89% of patent right coronary artery characterized by a TIMI flow grade of 3.[12]

Vasovagal Syncope

  • Prolonged upright posture results in some degree of pooling of blood in the lower extremities that can lead to diminished intracardiac volume. This phenomenon is exacerbated if the individual is dehydrated. The resultant arterial hypotension is sensed in the carotid sinus baroreceptors, and efferent fibers from these receptors trigger sympathetic autonomic signals that increase cardiac rate and contractility. However, pressure receptors in the wall and trabeculae of the underfilled left ventricle may then sense the stretching and contraction of the poorly filled ventricle, activating high-pressure C-fiber afferent nerves from these receptors. They may respond by activating the parasympathetic system that triggers paradoxical bradycardia and decreased contractility, resulting in additional and relatively sudden arterial hypotension. Hence, Bezold-Jarisch reflex results from the stimulation of vagal afferent pathways in response to sympathetic overactivity.
  • Inappropriate Bezold- Jarisch reflex must be suspected in the setting of unexplained syncope and should be investigated by tilt table test.

Below is an image that illustrates the mechanism of Bezold-Jarisch reflex in syncope.

Medication Effect

Anesthesia

  • The Bezold–Jarisch reflex has also been suggested as a possible cause of profound bradycardia and circulatory collapse after spinal anesthesia.[14]
  • Also, it is one of the complications of interscalene brachial plexus block.

Below is an image that illustrates the distribution of opioid OP4 receptors involved in the regulation of cardiovascular function.
