Baroreflex Sensitivity (BRS)

Baroreflex Sensitivity (BRS) assessment using an electrocardiogram (ECG). The baroreflex is part of the autonomic nervous system and helps to maintain the blood pressure at a constant level. Measurements include baroreflex sensitivity at rest, during orthostatic stress, and during the Spatial Orienting Task and Bangor Gambling Task.

In the first measurement wave, only baroreflex sensitivity at rest (supine and standing) was assessed.
