| Abstract | Electrical stimulation of the carotid baroreceptor has been shown to be an effective therapy for patients with (resistant) hypertension. However, the exact mechanism leading to blood pressure reduction is not fully elucidated. We measured left ventricular pressure and volume, ascending and abdominal aortic pressure using high-fidelity transducers in 9 anaesthetized dogs (24.8 ± 2.9 kg) at baseline and during electrical stimulation of the carotid baroreceptors. Therapy significantly (all P<0.001) lowered mean (from 81.1±7.6 to 54.8±5.5 mmHg), systolic (from 95.7±7.8 to 78.6±6.0 mmHg) and diastolic (from 66.6±8.3 to 41.4±6.2 mmHg) pressures. Cardiac output remained unchanged, but stroke volume tended to increase while heart rate decreased (83.5±15.3 to67.2±19.3 beats/min, P = 0.002). Systemic vascular resistance decreased from 1.25±0.50 to 0.92±0.44 AU, P = 0.002). There was no change in central-to abdominal pulse transit time, and we could not unequivocally demonstrate a change in total arterial compliance. Therapy had a drastic effect on the morphology of the pressure waveforms and on the relationship between abdominal and central aortic pressure. Pressure was amplified at baseline but damping of the pressure pulse along the aorta was observed during stimulation, suggesting a drastic impact of therapy on pressure wave reflection. This was confirmed by a decrease in the magnitude of wave reflection (from 0.54±0.13 to 0.39±0.08, P = 0.014). We conclude that, in an acute animal model, carotid baroreceptor stimulation significantly lowers blood pressure through vasodilation, with important effects on patterns of wave reflection. Further research is mandatory in experimental (conscious) models of hypertension and in patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
