Intracranial baroreflex is attenuated in an ovine model of renovascular hypertension

Abstract We have previously shown that elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP) within physiological ranges in normotensive animals increase arterial pressure; termed the intracranial baroreflex. Hypertension is associated with alterations in reflexes which maintain arterial pressure however, wheth...
