Özet

Aims Normally, arterial baroreceptors attempt to minimize systemic hypotension by initiating reflex vasoconstriction and tachycardia. However, in the setting of vasovagal syncope (VVS), these usual compensatory mechanisms either fail to be triggered or the response is inadequate. We hypothesized that in VVS prone individuals, arterial baroreceptor response (BRR) is normal under most conditions, but that a transient functional BRR disturbance occurs during an evolving vasovagal faint and may in part account for failure of the usual compensatory response.
