Sex difference in blood pressure response to orthostatic stress: effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
Objective We investigated sex differences in blood pressure (BP) response to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) during orthostatic stress (ORT). Methods Seventeen healthy young adults (males = 9; females = 8) underwent TENS or SHAM stimulus applied in the cervicothoracic region for 30 min in the supine position followed by 10 min in the orthostatic position. Electrocardiogram and BP were continuously recorded at rest and during ORT. Stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were calculated from the BP signal. Results Orthostatic challenge decreased BP si...
