Does not support practice changes in heart failure; leaves open whether targeting the reflex improves outcomes.
This review highlights the role of the exercise pressor reflex in cardiovascular regulation during exercise and its dysfunction in heart failure.
Smith et al. (2005) conducted a review in Heart failure. Exercise pressor reflex was evaluated. The exercise pressor reflex, driven by muscle mechanoreceptors and metaboreceptors, contributes to the exaggerated cardiovascular response to physical activity observed in heart failure.
