The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil
during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation …

Senescence is a leading cause of mortality, disability, and non‐communicable chronic
diseases in older adults. Mounting evidence indicates that the presence of cardiovascular …

Short-term blood pressure (BP) variability predicts cardiovascular complications in
hypertension, but its association with large-artery stiffness is poorly understood and …

The dynamic embodiment of psychological processes is evident in the association of health
outcomes, behavioural traits and psychological functioning with Heart Rate Variability …

Arterial blood pressure (BP) is regulated via the interaction of various local, humoral, and
neural factors. In humans, the major neural pathway for acute BP regulation involves the …

The arterial baroreflex contributes importantly to the short-term regulation of blood pressure
and cardiovascular variability. A number of factors (including reflex, humoral, behavioral …

The effects of exercise training on baroreflex control of sympathetic nerve activity in human
hypertension are unknown. We hypothesized that exercise training would improve …

The autonomic nervous system and its sympathetic arm play important roles in the
regulation of blood pressure. 1–3 Their role in the short-term regulation of blood pressure …

Previous human studies have shown that large-artery stiffness contributes to an age-related
decrease in cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity. Whether this is also true with sympathetic …

Reductions in the compliance of central arteries exert a number of adverse effects on
systemic cardiovascular function and disease risk. Using the cross-sectional study design …
