During stress against the background of serotonin receptors blockade, a weak tachycardia, low stress index, high rhythm variability, especially in the low-frequency range were recorded; against the background of dopamine receptors blockade, increased reactivity to stress at high HR, an initial increase in the stress index, and a decrease in rhythm variability, followed by an increase in the proportion of very low frequency waves in the spectrum were revealed. Serotonin and dopamine, by stimulating peripheral receptors, predominantly weakened stress-induced changes in HRV (especially serotonin), but in combination with blockade of the corresponding central receptors contributed to maintaining tachycardia, reduced rhythm variability, and potentiated the effects of blockers in relation to stress induced changes in the wave structure of the HRV spectrum.
