Impaired cardioacceleration to hypotension in elderly may inform cautious vasodilator use; leaves open mechanisms preserving neurohumoral responses with age.
Does age affect blood pressure, pulse, and neurohumoral responses to nitroprusside-induced hypotension in healthy normotensive men?
Cardioacceleration in response to hypotension is impaired with age, whereas neurohumoral responses remain intact.
Minaker et al. (1991) studied this question.
