title: How should human baroreflexes be tested?
abstract: A new approach to the study of arterial baroreflexes was developed for use during the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Spacelab Life Sciences-1 Space Shuttle mission.  This method holds promise as a   means to characterize the vagal limb of human baroreflex responses comprehensively and efficiently.
