Baroreflex changes in mild hypertension may involve non-compliance mechanisms; leaves open primary drivers and requires validation beyond canine models.
Does chronic hypertension alter carotid sinus compliance and baroreflex responses in dogs?
Changes in baroreflex responses seen in mild hypertension occur without significant changes in carotid sinus compliance, indicating the mechanism is not solely decreased compliance in the receptor wall.
