Autonomic Nervous System
Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the associations between nocturnal blood pressure (BP) and serum uric acid (SUA) level, low-grade inflammation, and cardiac autonomic function in untreated dipper and nondipper hypertensive patients and normotensive individuals.
The study included 92 consecutive...

Abstract
In this paper, an approach for heart rate variability analysis during exercise stress testing is proposed based on the integral pulse frequency modulation (IPFM) model, where a time-varying threshold is included to account for the nonstationary mean heart rate. The proposed technique allows the estim...

Abstract
We hypothesized that vasoconstriction of skin microcirculatory bed should be altered following 7 days of simulated microgravity in order to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis during active standing. Eight healthy men were studied before and after 7 days of simulated microgravity modeled by dry imme...

Abstract
Cardiac patients with depression have shown altered autonomic nervous system functioning, expressed as reduced heart rate variability. This may be associated with poorer physical fitness and less physical activity among depressed patients. These relationships were explored among patients enrolled in...

Abstract
AT(1A)-receptor deficiency, when combined with HSD, can increase circadian BP difference in mice. This increase is mediated principally by activity-unrelated factors, such as the nonsuppressibility of basal resting sympathetic tone by HSD, thus suggesting a form of salt-/volume-dependent hypertensio...
