... interval) and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) were analysed in 10 patients with cirrhosis and 10 control subjects during supine rest and on stimulation of carotid baroreceptors using a neck chamber applying sinusoidal suction. Bivariate analysis was used to study the relationship between pairs...

.... Carotid baroreceptor sensitivity was determined from the changes in pulse interval in response to subatmospheric pressures applied to the neck overlying the carotid sinuses, and orthostatic tolerance was assessed as the time to presyncope in a test of head-up tilt, followed by the addition of graded lower...

...R. Hainsworth; Y. M. H. Al-Shamma 1. Carotid baroreceptors were stimulated by application of a subatmospheric pressure to a chamber fitted round the anterior and lateral aspects of the subject's neck (neck suction). Pulse interval and heart rate were determined from an electrocardiogram, cardiac...

...D. Duprez; N. De Pue; D. L. Clement 1. The carotid baroreceptors were stimulated for 2 min by neck suction at −30 and −60 mmHg in 19 normotensive subjects and 12 patients with moderate essential hypertension. 2. Blood pressure was measured with a mercury sphygmomanometer and heart rate was derived...
