Carotid haemodynamics during sympathetic nervous system stimulation via handgrip and cold pressor testing in young healthy subjects: A feasibility study
Abstract:Introduction: Assessing arterial and haemodynamic properties in response to a physiological perturbation might provide additional information on an individual's "vascular health". The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of measuring changes in carotid stiffness and haemodynamics in response to sympathetic nervous system stressors, such as the Hand Grip Test (HGT) and the Cold Pressor Test (CPT). Methods: A non-invasive protocol, consisting of two HGT's at 30% and 40% of maximal voluntary contractio… Show more
