Examples
-
After the animals were anesthetized and instrumented to measure blood pressure, both carotid arteries were occluded (obstructed), which stimulates a reflex called the baroreflex that controls blood pressure.
-
"The baroreflex, which is one of the mechanisms of blood pressure regulation, is modified in elderly subjects, and it has been hypothesized that disorders of baroreflex control and enhanced vasoreactivity
-
The device is designed to reduce blood pressure by using small electrical signals to influence the body's blood pressure regulation system, called the baroreflex.
