Informs interpretation of sympathetic responses in hypoxia; extends physiological models but leaves open clinical translation.
How does acute hypoxaemia affect cardiovascular adjustments and sympathetic vasomotor activity in humans at rest and during exercise?
Acute hypoxaemia induces complex cardiovascular adjustments in humans, characterized by central inhibition of sympathetic activity at rest and baroreflex-mediated vasoconstriction in active muscle during exercise.
Rowell et al. (1987) studied this question.
