Influence of coronary artery disease risk factors on baroreflex sensitivity in the elderly

Abstract: In this study, we assessed whether baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is influenced by risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Subjects of this study were 95 elderly people (40 males and 55 females; mean age +/- SD, 66.6+/-1.6 years) who underwent a medical check-up. BRS was determined as the gain of transfer function in baroreflex arc by spectral analysis of mean blood pressure and R-R interval variabilities in low-frequency band (0.04-0.15 Hz). Gender-related differences in BRS and relationships between BRS and va… Show more

“…Results from previous studies suggest that in vivo platelet activation is related to platelet count and is enhanced in patients with coronary artery disease [4,25]. A significant number of subjects in the study by Yasumasu et al [29] were hyperlipidemic (63 %), hypertensive (48 %), and diabetic (11 %). Angina (5 subjects) and a previous myocardial infarction (one subject) were also noted.…”

“…The study by Yasumasu et al [29] demonstrates an association between platelet count and BRS, but cannot determine causality. Although the inverse relationship between platelet count and BRS may involve an effect of platelets on BRS, platelet count may also simply be a marker of an unidentified determinant of BRS.…”
