Abstract

Heart-rate baroreflex sensitivity expressed in ms/mmHg(BRS) or in Hz/mmHg (BRSf)decreases with age. The hypothesis that the age-dependent decrease of BRS and BRSf are caused by age-dependent increase of carotid wall thickness was investigated in the study presented. Our results: the positive correlation between age and intima-media thicknes of carotid wall and negative correlation between age and BRS and BRSf are in agreement with our hypothesis.

Abstract (in Czech)

Testovali jsme hypotézu, že tloušťka stěny karotických tepen v závislosti na věku může souviset se s věkem se snižující citlivostí baroreflexu. Nalezená pozitivní korelace mezi věkem a tloušťkou stěny karotid a negativní korelace mezi věkem a BRS a BRSf prokazují správnost naší hypotézy.
