Gender-selective interaction between aging, blood pressure, and sympathetic nerve activity.
The mechanisms mediating the more striking age related increase in cardiovascular disease in women than in men are poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that aging has a greater impact on sympathetic traffic in women than in men. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), blood pressure, and heart rate were measured in 120 healthy males and 96 healthy females aged 20 to 72 years. MSNA incr...
متن کاملAltered interaction between plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 activity and sympathetic nerve activity with aging.
BACKGROUND It has been reported that sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) is associated with fibrinolysis, but the interaction between SNA and the fibrinolytic system with aging has not been elucidated in humans. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of age-related SNA on the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) using muscle...
متن کاملRelationship between muscle sympathetic nerve activity and diurnal blood pressure profile.
The physiological mechanisms mediating the variability and diurnal rhythm of blood pressure are unclear. We tested the hypothesis that resting sympathetic activity is linked to the variability characteristics and 24-hour profile of ambulatory blood pressure measurements. We evaluated the relationship between muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and the level, variability, and nocturnal fall...
متن کاملDisruption of phase synchronization between blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in postural vasovagal syncope.
Withdrawal of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) may not be necessary for the precipitous fall of peripheral arterial resistance and arterial pressure (AP) during vasovagal syncope (VVS). We tested the hypothesis that the MSNA-AP baroreflex entrainment is disrupted before VVS regardless of MSNA withdrawal using the phase synchronization between blood pressure and MSNA during head-up tilt ...
متن کاملRelationship between blood pressure, sleep K-complexes, and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in humans.
Stage 2 sleep is characterized by the EEG appearance of "K-complexes" and blood pressure oscillations. K-complexes may be directly related to blood pressure changes or they may reflect central sympathetic activation. We analyzed the temporal relationship among K-complexes, heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) during sleep in eight healthy volunteers...
