Does cardiac baroreflex sensitivity correlate with cardiovascular risk factors in patients with hypertension?
Cardiac baroreflex sensitivity correlates with multiple classical cardiovascular risk factors and target organ damage markers in hypertensive patients, suggesting its potential as an integrative index of cardiovascular risk.
