Effect of acupuncture on the haemodynamic system in men.
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that HR reduction during acupuncture does occur, as previous reports have indicated. SV increased during acupuncture stimulation in parallel with HR reduction and CO was maintained during these changes. Any reduction in DBP caused by acupuncture recovered to baseline, likely due to baroreflexes. PMID: 32000504 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effect of acupuncture on the hemodynamic system. Correlation between heart rate, cardiac output and blood pressure
Acupuncture stimulation can induce reduction of the heart rate via a somato-autonomic reflex. However, it is unknown whether acupuncture influences also other hemodynamics parameters. The present study was designed to investigate comprehensively the changes of cardiovascular responses during acupuncture stimulation. Twelve healthy volunteers (mean age: 22 ±1 years) participated in the study. Heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and blood pressure were measured in the subjects in supine position by means of the electrocardiogram, transthoracic impedance cardiogram and continuous non-invasive finger blood pressure.
