May indicate autonomic dysfunction affecting BP control in MS; leaves open whether baroreflex testing aids risk stratification.
Does relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis impair carotid baroreflex control of blood pressure compared to healthy controls?
Individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis exhibit impaired carotid baroreflex control of blood pressure, characterized by a blunted vascular conductance response to hypotensive challenges.
