Heartbeats entrain breathing via baroreceptor-mediated modulation of expiratory activity
2020-12-11
Abstract excerpt
Cardio-ventilatory coupling refers to a heartbeat (HB) occurring at a preferred latency before the onset of the next breath. We hypothesized that the pressure pulse generated by a HB activates baroreceptors that modulates brainstem expiratory neuronal activity and delays the initiation of inspiration. In supine male subjects, we recorded ventilation, electrocardiogram, and blood pressure during 20-min epochs of ba...
