Question: I was wondering why high doses of Epinephrine don't produce a reflex bradycardia?

FAQ's
Answer: High EPI will cause an increase in BP as the alpha1-mediated constriction dominates over the beta2-mediated vasodilation. Because of the significant increase in BP the baroreflex has been activated. It will try to lower BP by decreasing HR. However since EPI is such a potent beta1-agonist, the reflex evoked is weaker than EPI's direct action on the heart. Therefore we still see the tachycardia although it has been reduced by the reflex.
