Data collected in experimental animals and in humans support the hypothesis that
sympathetic neural mechanisms are involved in the development and progression of …

Sympathetic neural factors exert a key role in homeostatic blood pressure control. Evidence
is available that abnormalities in sympathetic function may favour the development and …

Background Several hemodynamic variables, such as blood pressure, vascular resistance,
cardiac output, and heart rate, are regulated, among others, by sympathetic cardiovascular …

Methodological refinements in the assessment of human sympathetic cardiovascular drive
have allowed throughout the years to better define the role of the sympathetic nervous …

Autonomic cardiovascular control is impaired in hypertension, leading to a reduction in the
parasympathetic tone and to an increase in the sympathetic influences to the heart and …

There is clear evidence that essential hypertension is accompanied by sympathetic
activation. Many studies have shown that a number of cardiovascular risk factors frequently …

Physiological studies have long documented the key role played by the autonomic nervous
system in modulating cardiovascular functions and in controlling blood pressure values …

Animal studies have provided clearcut evidence that sympathetic factors are involved in the
development and maintenance of high blood pressure (BP). This also appears to be the …

Although animal models of hypertension have clearly shown that high blood pressure is
associated with and is probably caused by an increase in sympathetic cardiovascular …

Evidences collected in the past few years have strengthened the concept that the
sympathetic nervous system plays a primary role in the development and progression of the …
