Effects of transient change in carotid arterial stiffness on arterial baroreflex during mild orthostatic stimulation
Stiffening of central conduit arteries –areas where the mechanoreceptors are embedded (e.g., ascending aorta and carotid artery) – is considered to be associated with the impaired baroreflex control in response to hypotensive stress. Arterial stiffness is modulated by vascular tone transiently and d...
