Testing individual baroreflex responses to hypoxia-induced peripheral chemoreflex stimulation

ConclusionWe applied an approach to assess individual baroreflex –chemoreflex interactions in human subjects. A subgroup exhibited significant impairments in baroreflex blood pressure buffering and BRS with peripheral chemoreflex activation. The methodology may have utility in elucidating individual pathophysiology and in targeting treatments modulating baroref lex or chemoreflex function.
