Abstract

HYPERACTIVITY OF EITHER the sympathetic or parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system has been described as responsible for certain reactions which differentiate autonomic imbalance into "sympathotonia" and "vagotonia." Although these two states are said clearly to reveal themselves clinically when the perturbation bears definitely upon one or the other system, it occasionally occurs that both the vagal and the sympathetic systems are simultaneously affected. To this state the term "vagosympathetic disequilibrium" has been suggested.
