Altered metaboreflex control in never-treated hypertension should not change practice; leaves open its role in sympathetic dysregulation.
Is muscle metaboreflex control of sympathetic activity altered in never-treated hypertensive subjects compared to normotensive subjects?
Never-treated hypertensive patients exhibit decreased muscle metaboreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity compared to normotensive individuals.
