Key result
Baroreflex sensitivity decreased exponentially with increasing heart rate, demonstrating that BRS should be estimated at a wide range of heart rates to determine HR-corrected BRS.

Heart rate correction may enhance BRS comparability; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Observational (n=10)
Baroreflex sensitivity is highly dependent on heart rate and should be corrected to a standard heart rate (e.g., 60 bpm) to allow accurate comparisons between individuals or interventions.
Abrahamsson et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=10). Heart rate was evaluated on Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). Baroreflex sensitivity decreased exponentially with increasing heart rate, demonstrating that BRS should be estimated at a wide range of heart rates to determine HR-corrected BRS.
