Abstract

Arterial blood pressure is regulated on a beat-by-beat basis by vasoconstrictor sympathetic nerve activity directed towards skeletal muscle resistance vessels [i.e., muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA)]. Very short-term blood pressure variability reflects rapid neural control of blood pressure, primarily though modulation of the cardiovagal and sympathetic arms of the arterial baroreflex. Examining pressor responses to individual MSNA bursts, or sympathetic transduction, provides novel information regarding sympathetic neural control of blood pressure
