Popis: UNLABELLED Baroreflex sensitivity in paced patients. INTRODUCTION The baroreceptor-heart rate (HR) reflex has prognostic value in cardiovascular medicine. However, it cannot be used in chronotropically incompetent or paced patients. In healthy subjects, the baroreceptor-stroke volume (SV) reflex, with power spectral analysis of SV and blood pressure (BP) variations in the low-frequency band, serves as an alternate measure of the baroreceptor-cardiac reflex. This study examined the baroreceptor-stroke volume (SV) reflex sensitivity in the supine and 60 degrees upright positions in paced patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 16 recipients of dual-chamber pacemakers paced at a fixed rate. The hemodynamics and baroreceptor-SV reflex sensitivity were measured during atrioventricular (AV) sequential pacing every 5 minute in the supine and 60 degrees upright positions. Mean SV decreased from 42.0+/-20.1 mL in the supine to 36.6+/-16.1 mL in the upright position (P
