Aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between the baroreflex sensitivity expressed in ms/mmHg (BRS) and in Hz/mmHg (BRSf) and the body growth parameters. We conclude, that BRS (which is mean pulse interval related parameter) does not correlate with age. On the contrary, BRSf (which is mean pulse interval independent) decreases with age significantly. Significant relationship between BRSf and parameters of body growth is related to the age.
