The abrupt rise in mean arterial pressure resulting from elimination of the moderator reflexes is not accompanied by a significant increase in cardiac output. The acute hypertension is therefore attributed to a severe generalized vasoconstriction. The severity of this vasomotor response progressively diminishes during the interval immediately following denervation.
