The sympathetic response to hypoxia depends on the interaction between chemoreceptor
stimulation (CRS) and the associated hyperventilation. We studied this interaction by …

We compared the integrated cardiovascular and autonomic responses to hypercapnia and
hypoxia to test the hypothesis that these stimuli differentially affect muscle sympathetic nerve …

Sympathetic and respiratory motor activities are entrained centrally. We hypothesize that this
coupling may partially underlie changes in sympathetic activity evoked by hypoxia due to …

Non‐technical summary Exposure to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) leads to chronically
elevated sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) with …

Hypoxia and hypercapnia impose circulatory and metabolic stresses on the body.
Responses to these stresses include both local and reflex mechanisms that attempt to …

New Findings What is the central question of this research? Does increased ventilation
contribute to the increase in heart rate during transient exposure to hypoxia in humans …

The aims of this study were to relate heart morphology and functions changes to heart rate
variability (HRV) components after acclimatization to high altitude and to define whether …

Post‐hypoxia sympathoexcitation does not elicit corresponding changes in vascular tone,
suggesting diminished sympathetic signalling. Blunted sympathetic transduction following …

Acclimatization to long-term hypoxia is a process that takes place following ascent to high
altitude and that allows a gradual improvement of the ability to tolerate the hypoxic …
