| For analysis of spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity, we examined continuous finger arterial pressure and electrocardiograms to detect sequence changes in the R-R interval with parallel changes in arterial pressure. Our software selected all of the sequences of three or more successive heart beats in which there were concordant increases or decreases in systolic blood pressure and R-R intervals. A linear regression was applied to each of the sequences, and the mean slope during each condition was assessed as baroreflex sensitivity. | — |
