Journal ArticleDOI

Blood pressure and heart rate variabilities in normotensive and hypertensive human beings.

Giuseppe Mancia, +9 more
- 01 Jul 1983 - 
TL;DR: A number of factors that are associated with and responsible for blood pressure and heart rate variabilities in human beings are uncovered, suggesting a primary role of central nervous mechanisms in the production of these phenomena and in the overall cardiovascular modulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of blood-pressure measurement by the doctor on patient's blood pressure and heart rate

Giuseppe Mancia, +7 more
- 24 Sep 1983 - 
TL;DR: Changes in blood pressure in 10 or 15 min periods during which a doctor repeatedly measured blood pressure by the cuff method were monitored by a continuous intra-arterial recorder and there were large differences between individuals in the peak response unrelated to age, sex, baseline blood pressure, or blood-pressure variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of baroreceptor reflex by blood pressure monitoring in unanesthetized cats

Giovanni Bertinieri, +5 more
- 01 Feb 1988 - 
TL;DR: The arterial baroreceptor control of the sinus node operating in unanesthetized conditions was evaluated in 10 cats in which blood pressure was recorded intra-arterially and scanned by a computer to identify the "spontaneous" sequences of three or more consecutive beats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invited review: aging and the cardiovascular system.

Alberto U. Ferrari, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2003 - 
TL;DR: The heart becomes slightly hypertrophic and hyporesponsive to sympathetic (but not parasympathetic) stimuli, so that the exercise-induced increases in heart rate and myocardial contractility are blunted in older hearts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heart rate-dependence of arterial distensibility in vivo

Arduino A. Mangoni, +4 more
- 01 Jul 1996 - 
TL;DR: In the anaesthetized rat acute increases in heart rate are accompanied by reductions in arterial compliance and distensibility, and the effect is greater in elastic than in muscle arteries.
