Meanings of cardiac chemoreflex in English

Conclusions: This approach allows the evaluation of peripheral cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity in free breathing subjects.

Severity of illness was a more pronounced determinant of impaired cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity than age.

Peripheral cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity has been considered a marker for increased risk of sudden cardiac death.

We also aimed to elucidate the effect of the severity of MODS on the assessment of cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity.

In normals, the evaluation of peripheral cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity is performed under controlled breathing conditions during inhalation of hypoxic gas.

Objective: The cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity is a powerful predictor of autonomic dysfunction in chronic heart failure and after myocardial infarction.

Measurements and results: First, we established a new method to assess cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity and applied it to healthy controls and patients.

Conclusions: The calculation of cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity enabled us to quantify an important component of the cardiorespiratory interactions in patients with MODS.

The objective of the present study was to characterize cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

The quantification of the cardiorespiratory interactions by measuring the cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity has potential to identify a subgroup of patients with worse prognosis.

Values of peripheral cardiac chemoreflex sensitivity, corrected for respiratory influence, were compared with the results obtained experimentally under controlled breathing conditions in the same subjects.
