SNS fibers release epi/norepi in the heart to:
A
increase HR
B
increase myocardial contractility
C
decrease HR
D
increase stroke volume
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Norepinephrine gets released by postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system, which binds to and activates adrenergic receptors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Additionally, sympathetic stimulation is increased, resulting in further increases to heart rate, as well as stroke volume, which in turn results in an even greater restoration of cardiac output.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Adrenal Medulla and Integration of Metabolic Control The adrenal medulla is a modified sympathetic prevertebral ganglion that releases epinephrine and norepinephrine into the blood (about 4:1) in response to sympathetic stimulation.
