We evaluated R-R interval changes (delta R-R interval) in 13 subjects (27 +/- 6 yr; 7 men and 6 women) as a function of blood pressure changes at the carotid sinus and aortic arch and central venous pressure changes at the cardiopulmonary receptors. Neck chamber pressure and suction were used to change pressure at the carotid sinus while lower body negative pressure, phenylephrine infusion, and nitroprusside infusion were used to change pressure at the carotid sinus (delta CSP), aortic arch (delta AAP), and cardiopulmonary receptors (delta CPP). Random effects regression analysis showed a significant linear relationship for delta R-R interval (-1.75 + 1.64 delta CSP + 15.40 delta AAP + 29.02 delta CPP + error), and the correlation (r) between the observed and predicted delta R-R interval was 0.82 (P < 0.00001). Sixty-seven percent of the delta R-R interval variability observed in the study is explained by the model. delta AAP accounts for approximately 63%, delta CSP for 14%, and delta CPP for 23% of the explained delta R-R interval.
