LBPP attenuates orthostatic sympathetic activation in healthy men; hypothesis-generating for baroreflex-fluid shift mechanisms and leaves open clinical translation.
Does lower body positive pressure reduce the baroreflex-mediated enhancement in sympathetic activity during head-up tilt in healthy young men?
Application of lower body positive pressure during head-up tilt reduces baroreflex-mediated sympathetic activation by inducing a cephalad fluid shift and restoring arterial pulse pressure.
Fu et al. (2001) studied this question.
