It is well known that baroreceptors reset to operate at higher pressure in hypertension. The
time course and mechanisms responsible for resetting are still unclear. There is a rapid or …

The arterial baroreceptor reflex has been the subject of hundreds of ex perimental studies
over more than 50 years. However, there have been relative ly few studies concerning the …

Hypertension is a multifactorial disease associated with significant morbidity. Increased
sympathetic nervous system activity has been noted as an important etiologic factor and is …

It is a great honor and pleasure for me to introduce this book; an honor, because of the
scientific renown and authority of the investigators who have edited the volume and …

This paper briefly reviews the historical evolution of ideas about how baroreflexes operate
and continue to regulate arterial blood pressure during exercise. Observations from studies …

According to conventional wisdom, hysteresis in cardiac vagal baroreflex function exhibits a
specific pattern: pressure falls are associated with longer heart periods and a smaller linear …

The baroreceptor and cardiopulmonary reflexes represent a crucial integrative neuronal
negative feedback system which confines excessive blood pressure fluctuations into …

The arterial baroreceptor reflex (BR; aortic and carotid sinus BR) and the cardiopulmonary
BR are the most important reflexes acting as buffer systems for the maintenance of arterial …

Previous studies suggest that prolonged electric activation of the baroreflex may reduce
arterial pressure more than chronic blockade of α1-and β1, 2-adrenergic receptors. To …
