Popis: Does the peripheral chemoreflex play a role in cardiac baroreflex dysfunction in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)? Here we provide new evidence of cardiac baroreflex dysfunction under spontaneous and, most notably, provoked blood pressure fluctuations in patients with nonhypoxemic PAH. Importantly, impaired cardiac baroreflex effectiveness during provoked blood pressure fluctuations was independently associated with poorer functional capacity. Finally, our results indicated that the peripheral chemoreflex did not mediate cardiac baroreflex dysfunction among those patients.
