Baroreflex integration models should incorporate cardiopulmonary unloading effects; extends physiological mapping in health but leaves open disease-state relevance.
How does carotid sinus stimulation regulate forearm vascular resistance, blood pressure, and R-R interval in healthy men?
Carotid baroreceptor stimulation causes immediate but transient changes in forearm vascular resistance, which are enhanced and sustained by simultaneous reduction of cardiopulmonary baroreceptor activity.
Thomas J. Ebert (1983) studied this question.
