Different effects of mechano- and metaboreflex on the central blood pressure waveform by Nobuhiro Nakamura, Peng Heng, Naoyuki Hayashi

“…The relative change from rest (Δ) in P1 during SPS was positively correlated with that in stroke volume (r = 0.68; p &lt; 0.05), and the ΔAP during PEI was positively correlated with that in total peripheral resistance TPR (r = 0.61; p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThese results suggest different effects of mechano- and metaboreflex on the change in shape of the central BP waveform; mechanoreflex and metaboreflex deform P1 and P2, respectively.…”
