The autonomic nervous system dynamically controls the response of the body to a range of
external and internal stimuli, providing physiological stability in the individual. With the …

Background: Although intensive blood pressure (BP)–lowering treatment reduces risk for
cardiovascular disease, there are concerns that it might cause orthostatic hypotension (OH) …

This cutting-edge reference examines how beat-to-beat variations in heart rate and blood
pressure provide a window into the health of the autonomic nervous system. The book …

Objectives: This study planned to establish whether sympathetic hyperactivity exists in white-
coat hypertension (WHT) in the clinical setting, relative to matched groups with …

Pathophysiology of hypertensive heart disease Cardiac hypertrophy occurs in response to
an overload. When the working load increases, myocytes enlarge until the stress per cell …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the effects of essential hypertension on
cardiac autonomic function in type 2 diabetic patients. BACKGROUND Hypertension is …

Objective: The aim of study was to propose an approach to the control of dynamics of
autonomic dysfunction in cardiovascular system (CVS) under antihypertensive treatment …

Low heart rate variability and increased QT dispersion are risk factors for cardiac mortality in
various patient populations. We studied dispersion of QT interval, ie an index of …

Baroreceptor reflex regulation has been shown to reset towards a higher blood pressure
level and to operate with reduced sensitivity in hypertension. Whether this is secondary to …

Objectives Hypoxia is a physiological state characterized by reduced oxygen levels in
organs and tissues. It is a common clinicopathological process and a major cause of health …
