title: [Assessment of chemoreflex involved in reflex cardio-respiratory control].
abstract: Impaired chemosensitivity is an important element of the pathogenesis and the course of various cardiovascular diseases. Our paper presents the assessment of the sensitivity of the central (located on the ventrolateral medullary surface, sensitive to hypercapnea and acidosis) and peripheral (located in the carotid and aortic bodies, sensitive to hypoxia) chemoreceptors, pointing out a physiological and clinical aspects of their application.
