Why the study?
Do non-invasive methods (spectral analysis and Valsalva manoeuvre) provide reproducible and accurate measurements of baroreflex sensitivity compared to phenylephrine infusion in healthy subjects?
Population
26 healthy subjects aged 22 to 63 years
Comparison

Spectral analysis may support more reliable baroreflex sensitivity research; prospective validation against invasive standards is needed before clinical use.
Do non-invasive methods (spectral analysis and Valsalva manoeuvre) provide reproducible and accurate measurements of baroreflex sensitivity compared to phenylephrine infusion in healthy subjects?
The low-frequency component of the spectral method is the most clinically useful non-invasive measurement of baroreflex sensitivity due to its reproducibility and low failure rate.
Lord et al. (1998) studied this question.
