Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The relationship between impaired baroreflex sensitivity (BS) and the degree of sympathetic activation during exercise in patients with heart failure (HF) has not been studied in detail. For this purpose, we studied BS and measured plasma norepinephrine (NE) at rest, and during and after treadmill exercise in 15 patients and 10 controls. HF patients showed lower BS in comparison to controls (3.51 ± 3.62 vs. 9.74 ± 4.56 ms/mm Hg; p < 0.001), and higher levels of plasma NE at rest (449.3 ± 147.1 vs. 261.1 ± 82.48 pg/ml; p < 0.001) and during exercise (1542 ± 361.2 vs. 524.6 ± 92.61 pg/ml; p < 0.001). BS was directly related to pVO (r = 0.62; p = 0.0008) and inversely related to NE at peak exercise and to the increase in NE during exercise (r = 0.59, p = 0.005, and r = 0.53: p = 0.0058). Thus, during exercise, a marked sympathetic activation exists in patients with moderate HF. The relationship between increased plasma NE during exercise and decreased BS suggests that impaired baroreceptor function may be present in sympathetic activation in HF patients.
