- 5. Kawasaki disease, alongside the Intravenous immunoglobulin, is treated with high doses of ________
- 7. these stretch receptors are located predominantly in the aorta and in the carotid sinus. When activated, they lower cardiac output by lowering the heart rate, stroke volume, and peripheral resistance, and thus lower blood pressure.
