Provides mechanistic insight into orthostatic BP control in healthy adults; leaves open relevance for patients with autonomic dysfunction.
Does mild orthostatic stress modulate carotid-baroreflex dynamic responses in healthy subjects?
During mild orthostatic stress, carotid-baroreflex dynamic responses are modulated in ways that help maintain blood pressure and limit orthostatic hypotension.
Ichinose et al. (2004) studied this question.
