Abstract

The mechanisms involved in neural cardiovascular regulation in humans have been traditionally studied using laboratory tests known to activate central and reflex influences on the heart and the peripheral circulation [1, 2]. Although valuable, these manoeuvres have important limitations, however [2, 3]. For example, their cardiovascular effects have a limited reproducibility. Furthermore, the effects of manoeuvres apparently involving similar neural mechanisms have a limited correlation. Finally, these manoeuvres interfere with the neural mechanisms under evaluation in the laboratory setting, and do not offer information on neural cardiovascular control in real life conditions.
