The sympathetic nervous system's role in regulating blood pressure variability.
Malpas, Simon C. and Leonard, Bridget L. and Guild, Sarah-Jane and Ringwood, John V. and Navakatikyan, Michael and Austin, Paul C. and Head, Geoffrey A. and Burgess, Don E. (2001) The sympathetic nervous system's role in regulating blood pressure variability. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 20 (2). pp. 17-24. ISSN 0739-5175 AbstractThis article focuses on how sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) contributes to the variability seen in blood pressure. Specifically, it examines the following questions: why do oscillations occur at certain frequencies, why do only certain frequencies of oscillations in SNA induce oscillations in the vasculature, and what may be the functional purpose of these oscillations. | Additional Information: | "©2001 IEEE.
