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 …

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

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

BACKGROUND An activation of sympathetic neural influences to the heart and peripheral
circulation has been shown to represent a hallmark of the essential hypertensive state …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Several articles have dealt with the importance and mechanisms of the sympathetic nervous
system alterations in experimental animal models of hypertension. This review addresses …

A number of cardiovascular disease have been shown to be characterized by a marked
increase in sympathetic drive to the heart and the peripheral circulation. This is the case for …
