Impairment in cardiac baroreflex sensitivity, which helps regulate blood pressure, is associated with an increased risk for dementia and mortality in older adults not taking antihypertensive ...

Background: Autonomic dysfunction is an important component in congestive heart failure (CHF) pathophysiology. The combined effects of reduced ejection fraction and advanced CHF Class on baroreceptor ...

The Fn key is short for function – this particular key allows PC users to access the second assignment of a key. It is normally found at the bottom left corner. The Function keys (F1, F2, etc) are ...

Background and Objectives: Recently, novel noiseless device for the assessment of baroreceptor function with the neck suction (NS) has been presented. In this study, we present another in-house ...

Continuous-flow (CF) left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) improve outcomes for patients with advanced heart failure (HF). However, the lack of a physiological pulse predisposes to side-effects ...

With increased dietary NaCl intake (8% NaCl), the borderline hypertensive rat develops hypertension, thus expressing the phenotype of the spontaneously hypertensive parent. Since arterial baroreceptor ...

Have you ever wondered why you don’t faint when you stand up? No? Well tough, you’re going to find out anyway. The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to access the ...

Sodium may contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension by impairing arterial baroreceptor reflex function. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine whether a high sodium diet depresses ...

Chronic heart failure (CHF) affects approximately 5.7 million people in the United States. Increasing evidence from both clinical and experimental studies indicates that the sensitivity of arterial ...

Abstract: Field stimulation of the carotid baroreceptors has been successfully used to induce a long-term reduction in blood pressure. However, baroreceptor stimulation may interfere with or ...
