  • Heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive method to analyze variations of time intervals between heart beats. (bvsalud.org)
  • UNLABELLED: The aim of this study is to analyse the acute effect of water-pipe smoking on heart rate, blood pressure and the baroreflex control of heart rate. (who.int)
  • The carotid and aortic bodies and central chemoreceptors respond to the partial pressure of oxygen (PO 2 ), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO 2 ) and pH of the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. (aafp.org)
  • Often there is a more dramatic elevation in systolic blood pressure in HFpEF than is typical of HFrEF. (wikipedia.org)
  • Understanding the transmural variations in left ventricular (LV) mechanics associated with HFpEF may offer pathophysiological insights for developing potential therapeutic targets. (frontiersin.org)
