Younger MI patients show greater relative BRS loss; leaves open whether age-adjusted BRS refines post-MI risk stratification.
How does age impact baroreflex sensitivity in men with recent myocardial infarction compared to healthy controls?
Age significantly impacts baroreflex sensitivity impairment following myocardial infarction, with younger patients experiencing a greater absolute decrease compared to age-matched controls.
