May inform models of sympathetic vascular control but should not alter clinical practice; leaves open need for in vivo validation of frequency-dependent thresholds.
Theoretical calculations suggest that natural sympathetic nerve activity causes irregular depolarization in small arteries, with smaller arterioles reaching action potential thresholds at lower frequencies.
T O Neild (1983) studied this question.
