Reduced resting beat-to-beat blood pressure variability in females with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
This study examined cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in women with relapsing-remitting MS by measuring beat-to-beat blood pressure variability and sympathetic baroreflex sensitivity compared to healthy controls. The research hypothesized that reduced sympathetic control in MS patients leads to impaired blood pressure regulation, using continuous electrocardiogram and blood pressure monitoring along with muscle sympathetic nerve activity recordings.
