Does not inform clinical hypertension management; leaves open whether baroreflex activation confers unique autonomic benefits in obesity models.
Does chronic baroreflex activation or renal denervation restore cardiovascular dynamic control in dogs with obesity-induced hypertension?
In a canine model of obesity-induced hypertension, chronic baroreflex activation, unlike renal denervation, not only lowers blood pressure but also restores heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity, potentially reducing arrhythmia risk.
