Unanswered baroreceptor questions warrant caution in autonomic therapies for HF or hypertension; leaves open mechanistic targets for future study.
This lecture highlights ongoing unanswered questions regarding the function and sensitivity of baroreceptors in cardiovascular physiology.
A. M. Scher (1977) conducted a review in Cardiovascular physiology (baroreceptor function). This presentation highlights major unanswered questions regarding the gain, sensitivity, and ultimate function of baroreceptors in the carotid sinus, aortic arch, and cardiopulmonary region.
