Baroreflex Buffering of Sympathetic Activation During Sleep: Evidence From Autonomic Assessment of Sleep Macroarchitecture and Microarchitecture
2004
Hypertension
We examined the effects of sleep microstructure, ie, the cyclic alternating pattern (CAP), on heart rate (HR)and blood pressure (BP)-regulating mechanisms and on baroreflex control of HR in healthy humans and tested the hypothesis that sympathetic activation occurring in CAP epochs during non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep periods is buffered by the arterial baroreflex. Ten healthy males underwent polysomnography and simultaneous recording of BP, ECG, and respiration. Baroreflex sensitivity
