4.1 ACUTE, SYMPATHETIC-INDEPENDENT INCREASES IN HEART RATE BY WAY OF CARDIAC PACING RAISES AORTIC AND BRACHIAL BLOOD PRESSURE WITH INCREASED CARDIAC OUTPUT AND ARTERIAL STIFFNESS

Objective. Whilst the effects of heart rate (HR) on the cardiovascular system have been studied cross-sectionally or during exercise, the effect of acute, sympathetic-independent changes in HR on arterial stiffness, cardiac output (CO), mean pressure (MAP) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) has n...
