Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic activation in obese normotensive subjects
Guido Grassi,Gino Seravalle,Bianca M. Cattaneo,G.B. Bolla,Antonio Lanfranchi,Manuela Colombo,Cristina Giannattasio,Amelia Brunani,Francesco Cavagnini,Giuseppe Mancia +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether these alterations involve sympathetic drive in 10 young obese sub-groups and found that the sympathetic drive was not involved in the majority of the cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baroreflex Control of Sympathetic Nerve Activity in Essential and Secondary Hypertension
TL;DR: In both essential and secondary hypertensives, baroreceptor-heart rate control was displaced toward elevated blood pressure values and markedly impaired compared with normotensive subjects, and sympathetic activation characterizes essential but not secondary hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Chronic ACE Inhibition on Sympathetic Nerve Traffic and Baroreflex Control of Circulation in Heart Failure
Guido Grassi,Bianca M. Cattaneo,Gino Seravalle,Antonio Lanfranchi,Massimo Pozzi,Alberto Morganti,Stefano Carugo,Giuseppe Mancia +7 more
TL;DR: These results provide the first direct evidence that in congestive heart failure chronic ACE inhibitor treatment is accompanied by a marked reduction in central sympathetic outflow, and may depend on a persistent restoration of baroreflex restraint on the sympathetic neural drive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between reproducibility and sensitivity of muscle sympathetic nerve traffic and plasma noradrenaline in man
Guido Grassi,Giambattista Bolla,Gino Seravalle,Carlo Turri,Antonio Lanfranchi,Giuseppe Mancia +5 more
TL;DR: Muscular sympathetic nerve activity was significantly increased by aging and hypertension, and reduced by physical training, and the noradrenaline changes were much less marked and consistent, suggesting that muscle sympathetic nerveActivity has a greater short- and medium-term reproducibility than norad Renaline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baroreflex Impairment by Low Sodium Diet in Mild or Moderate Essential Hypertension
Guido Grassi,Bianca M. Cattaneo,Gino Seravalle,Antonio Lanfranchi,Giambattista Bolla,Giuseppe Mancia +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is raised that in humans sodium restriction may impair the arterial baroreflex, which may be responsible for the sympathetic activation occurring in this condition and for the impairment of blood pressure homeostasis.
