...An increase in systemic arterial pressure increases the firing rate of baroreceptors which causes vagal excitation and sympathetic inhibition, thus decreasing heart rate; BRS can be quantified as the measure of the reflex bradycardia which follows the blood pressure rise induced by injection of an alpha-adrenoreceptor stimulant [2]....
