Abstract

A patient suffering from severe psychiatric depression underwent a course of electroconvulsive therapy. A marked rise in systemic arterial pressure, heart rate and plasma catecholamines in response to electroconvulsive therapy was attenuated by β‐receptor blockade using propranolol. The significance and mechanism of this attenuation are discussed.
