Baroreceptor function was measured in 18 patients with essential hypertension by plotting
the change in pulse interval against a phenylephrine-induced transient rise in systolic blood …

Captopril (50 mg orally) produced a significant fall in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in
six normotensive sodium replete subjects, without a rise in heart rate. On captopril, there …

Because discrepancies about baroreflex sensitivity in essential hypertension may have
resulted from the use of different measurement techniques, we assessed the extent to which …

Baroreflex control of heart rate, vascular resistance and norepinephrine is impaired in
patients with heart failure, but recent animal studies demonstrate preserved baroreflex …

Conscious rabbits with previously implanted perivascular balloons for altering blood
pressure were studied before and 6 days after:(i) sham-operation (n= 6);(ii) section of carotid …

The vagal component of the chronotropic response to baroreceptor stimulation in normal
man was evaluated by measuring responses of heart rate and arterial pressure to the …

Recent clinical data have generated fresh interest in the assessment of baroreflex sensitivity,
largely because of the relationship between this parameter and prognosis after a myocardial …

The ability of the arterial baroreceptor reflex to buffer the blood pressure responses elicited
by increasing the intracranial pressure (ICP) has been studied in chloralose anesthetized …

Studies in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) demonstrate blunting of
sympathoexcitatory responses to baroreflex perturbation. Whereas experimental and limited …

It is well known that the baroreceptor reflex is blunted in the heart failure state. However, the
mechanisms for this depression are not well understood. The aim of the present study was to …
