Abstract:Different methods have been used to assess baroreflex gain in experiments where changes in the carotid sinus pressure or the arterial blood pressure using different techniques provoke a baroreflex response, usually a rapid variation of heart rate. Four mathematical models are most used in the literature: the linear regression, the piecewise regression, and two different four‐parameter logistic equations: equation 1, Y = (A1–D1)/[1 + eB1(X – C1)] + D1; equation 2, Y = (A2–D2)/[1 + (X/C2)B2] + D2. We compared th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
