Popis: OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on the cardiac baroreflex function and vascular reactivity in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS Thirteen patients with cirrhosis were submitted to exercise and control intervention. At baseline and at 30 and 60 min following intervention, we evaluated cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) and the baroreflex effectiveness index (BEI) using sequence technique. Vascular reactivity was assessed inducing reactive hyperemia before and 60 min after intervention. RESULTS At baseline, there was no difference (P interaction = 0.848) between exercise (from 3.0 ± 0.34 to 14.60 ± 1.06 ml/100ml/min) and control sessions (from 2.38 ± 0.10 to 13.73 ± 1.05 ml/100ml/min) regarding the increase in forearm blood flow during reactive hyperemia. However, this response was higher postexercise (from 3.38 ± 0.31 to 16.58 ± 1.58 ml/100ml/min) than postcontrol intervention (from 2.04 ± 0.23 to 11.98 ± 1.16 ml/100ml/min, P interaction
