Baroreflex sensitivity is impaired in bilateral carotid atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The arterial baroreflex is an important determinant of the short-term regulation of blood pressure and cardiovascular variability. The purpose of our study was to determine whether baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate (HR) variability are altered in patients with carotid atherosclerosis (CA) and to assess the impact of characteristics of CA on BRS. METHODS BRS an...
متن کاملVentilatory Chaos Is Impaired in Carotid Atherosclerosis
Ventilatory chaos is strongly linked to the activity of central pattern generators, alone or influenced by respiratory or cardiovascular afferents. We hypothesized that carotid atherosclerosis should alter ventilatory chaos through baroreflex and autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. Chaotic dynamics of inspiratory flow was prospectively evaluated in 75 subjects undergoing carotid ultrasonogra...
متن کاملCarotid baroreflex responsiveness is impaired in normotensive African American men.
There are important differences in autonomic function and cardiovascular responsiveness between African Americans (AA) and Caucasian Americans (CA). This study tested the hypothesis that carotid baroreflex (CBR) responsiveness is impaired in normotensive AA compared with normotensive CA at rest. CBR control of heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was assessed in 30 nonhyperten...
متن کاملCarotid distensibility, baroreflex sensitivity, and orthostatic stress.
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that carotid arteries undergo rapid changes in distensibility on moving from the supine to head-up tilt (HUT) postures and, subsequently, that this change in carotid distensibility (cDa) might be associated with concurrent reductions in cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). Thus the effect of posture on carotid vascular mechanics and cardiovagal BRS w...
متن کاملHydrogen Sulfide Facilitates the Impaired Sensitivity of Carotid Sinus Baroreflex in Rats with Vascular Calcification
Arterial baroreflex is a general mechanism maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis; its sensitivity is reduced in vascular calcification (VC). Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) treatment facilitates baroreflexive sensitivity in normal and hypertensive rats. Here, we aimed to detect the effect of H2S on baroreflexive sensitivity in rats with VC. The rat VC model was induced by vitamin D3 plus nicotine for 4...
