Baroreflex sensitivity estimation by the sequence method with delayed signals

Objective To evaluate a modified sequence method with delayed time series for baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) estimation during supine position and orthostatism in healthy human beings. Methods Nineteen clinically healthy volunteers (12 men, age 28.4 ± 6.2 years old) were included. Blood pressure recor...

Description
Summary:Objective To evaluate a modified sequence method with delayed time series for baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) estimation during supine position and orthostatism in healthy human beings. Methods Nineteen clinically healthy volunteers (12 men, age 28.4 ± 6.2 years old) were included. Blood pressure recordings were obtained during supine position and orthostatism (15 min each) with a Finometer. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and inter beat intervals (IBI) measured from all heartbeats were used to estimate BRS in both positive and negative sequences, with SBP delayed between 0 and 5 heartbeats. BRS estimations were compared by ANOVA, p
