The baroreceptor-heart rate reflex (baroreflex sensitivity, BRS) is a key mechanism
contributing to the neural regulation of the cardiovascular system. Several methods have …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) as a predictor
of response to renal sympathetic denervation (RDN). Background: Catheter-based RDN is a …

Objective: Several methods have been developed so far to estimate cardiac baroreflex
sensitivity (BRS) through the analysis of spontaneous fluctuations of systolic arterial …

Methods Cardiovascular autonomic nervous system assessment (eg, electrocardiogram and
beat-to-beat systolic blood pressure [SBP]) was performed the seated upright position at rest …

We systematically compare strengths and weaknesses of two methods that can be used to
quantify causal links between time series: Granger-causality and Bivariate Phase Rectified …

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may lead to postoperative complications such
as the acute kidney dysfunction (AKD), identified as any post-intervention increase of serum …

Hysteresis of the baroreflex (BR) is the result of the different BR sensitivity (BRS) when
arterial pressure (AP) rises or falls. This phenomenon has been poorly studied and almost …

In heart period (HP) variability (HPV) recordings the percentage of negative HP variations
tends to be greater than that of positive ones and this pattern is referred to as HPV …

Background Sympathetic overactivity is frequently observed following renal transplantation
(RTx), and post-transplant hypertension is a major contributing factor to graft failure and …

Dysregulation of cardiovascular autonomic control is gaining recognition as a prevailing
consequence of concussion injury. Characterizing the presence of autonomic dysfunction in …
