Moderate hypertension associated with selective arterial baroreflex impairment; hypothesis-generating for mechanistic and interventional studies.
Does baroreceptor stimulation elicit different circulatory responses in patients with moderate hypertension compared to normotensive subjects?
Moderate hypertension is associated with impaired reflex adjustments via arterial baroreceptors rather than intrathoracic low-pressure baroreceptors.
Lindblad et al. (1981) studied this question.
