Why the study?
Do alterations in central venous pressure trigger reflex changes in muscle sympathetic outflow large enough to alter vascular resistance in the calf in conscious humans?

May extend cardiopulmonary baroreflex control to calf resistance; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do alterations in central venous pressure trigger reflex changes in muscle sympathetic outflow large enough to alter vascular resistance in the calf in conscious humans?
Alterations in central venous pressure trigger significant reflex changes in sympathetic outflow that directly regulate calf vascular resistance in humans, challenging previous concepts that cardiopulmonary afferents primarily affect the forearm.
Vissing et al. (1989) studied this question.
