improves baroreflex sensitivity and normalizes spectral components in patients with
advanced heart failure. To measure baroreflex sensitivity, we performed transfer function
analysis of RR variability, and compared the results with those yielded by the currently
acknowledged gold standard, the phenylephrine method.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
