Abstract excerpt
The pattern of cardiovascular changes that occur at nighttime can have an impact on morbidity and mortality. Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, in particular, represents a period of increased risk due to marked cardiovascular instability. We hypothesized that genetic differences between inbred strains of mice would affect the phenotypic expression of cardiovascular responses that occur in REM sleep. We monitored...
