Baroreflex sensitivity at rest and during stress in individuals with a history of vasovagal syncope
Abstract
The baroreflex sensitivity of healthy young adult males who reported some history of vasovagal syncope during emotionally stressful situations (e.g. blood donation) was compared to a control group of individuals who reported no such history. The baroreflex, which induces compensatory bradycardia and vasodilation in response to acute elevations of blood pressure, was examined as a possible mechanism underlying predisposition to vasovagal reactions. Changes in heart rate and vasoconstriction in response to baroreflex stimulation (negative external cervical pressure) at rest and during administration of a mental arithmetic task and a constrictive pain stimulus were assessed. Individuals with a history of vasovagal reactions displayed greater baroreflex sensitivity during the pain stimulus and at rest, but not during mental arithmetic. These findings suggest one mechanism of risk for syncope reactions, particularly in situations involving the experience of pain.

One study including individuals with a history of emotional fainting showed reduced baroreflex sensitivity during pain stimulation but not mental arithmetic.
“One study that also included individuals with a history of emotional fainting showed reduced baroreflex sensitivity during pain stimulation but not mental arithmetic (Ader et al., 1991).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
