Functional metrics of autonomic control of heart rate, including baroreflex sensitivity, have been shown to be strongly associated with cardiovascular risk. A decrease in baroreflex sensitivity with aging is hypothesized to represent a contributing …

We introduce here the Research CardioVascular SIMulator (RCVSIM) software in order to complement research with the experimental data sets provided by PhysioBank. The human cardiovascular model upon which RCVSIM is based includes three major componen…

Autonomic function regulating blood pressure and cardiac rhythm progressively declines with increasing age. Impaired cardiovascular control promotes a variety of age-related conditions such as dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease. This study aims to pro…
