Increased BP & decreased heart rate is seen in: (A) Hemorrhage, (B) High altitude, (C) Raised intracranial pressure, (D) Anemia
Answer is C. Raised intracranial pressure initiates Cushing’s reflex. Cushing’s reflex leads to a rise in arterial pressure, which restores the blood supply to the brain. At the same time, the raised BP causes reflex Bradycardia through the baroreceptors.
