Importance of rostral ventrolateral medulla neurons in determining efferent sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure
Accentuated sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular events. In this review, we investigate our working hypothesis that potentiated activity of neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is the primary cause of experimental and essential hypertension. Over the pa...
