Relationship Between Muscle Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Aortic Wave Reflection Characteristics in Young Men and Women
Open accessAbstract
Increased arterial stiffness is associated with higher levels of aortic wave reflection and aortic blood pressure. Recent evidence suggests a link between muscle sympathetic nerve activity and indices of arterial stiffness. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine the relationship between resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity and characteristics of aortic pressure wave reflection and the influence of sex on these relationships. In 44 subjects (23 females and 21 males; 25±1 years of age), we measured muscle sympathetic nerve activity via peroneal microneurography. In addition, noninvasive aortic pressure waveforms were synthesized from radial pressure waveforms obtained from applanation tonometry. Aortic blood pressure, augmentation index, wave reflection amplitude, and wasted left ventricular energy were calculated. Resting sympathetic activity (bursts/100 heart beats) was not associated with any of the aortic pressure wave reflection characteristics for all patients. However, there was a positive relationship between sympathetic activity and augmentation index ( r =0.46; P =0.05) in men. Further, sympathetic activity in men was related to wave reflection amplitude ( r =0.53; P <0.05) and wasted left ventricular energy ( r =0.57; P <0.01). In contrast to men, women demonstrated strong inverse relationships between sympathetic activity and augmentation index ( r =−0.63), wave reflection amplitude ( r =−0.59), and wasted left ventricular energy ( r =−0.58; P <0.01 for all). Our results suggest another possible mechanism by which young women are protected against the development of cardiovascular disease.

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.
