• Cardiac and vascular sympathetic baroreflex control during orthostatic pre-syncope 

    Furlan, Raffaello; Heusser, Karsten; Minonzio, Maura; Shiffer, Dana; Cairo, Beatrice; Tank, Jens; Jordan, Jens; Diedrich, André; Gauger, Peter; Zamuner, Roberto A.; Dipaola, Franca; Porta, Alberto; Barbic, Franca (2019)
    We hypothesized that sympathetic baroreflex mediated uncoupling between neural sympathetic discharge pattern and arterial pressure (AP) fluctuations at 0.1 Hz during baroreceptor unloading might promote orthostatic ...

  • Effects of prolonged head-down bed rest on cardiac and vascular baroreceptor modulation and orthostatic tolerance in healthy individuals 

    Barbic, Franca; Heusser, Karsten; Minonzio, Maura; Shiffer, Dana; Cairo, Beatrice; Tank, Jens; Jordan, Jens; Diedrich, André; Gauger, Peter; Zamuner, Roberto A.; Porta, Alberto; Furlan, Raffaello (2019)
    Orthostatic intolerance commonly occurs after prolonged bed rest, thus increasing the risk of syncope and falls. Baroreflex-mediated adjustments of heart rate and sympathetic vasomotor activity (muscle sympathetic nerve ...
