The Relationship

The purpose of this project was to test the hypothesis that baroreceptor modulation of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and heart rate is altered during the cold pressor test. Ten subjects were exposed to a cold pressor test by immersing a hand in ice water for 3 min while arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and MSNA were recorded. During the second and third minute of the cold pressor test, blood pressure was lowered and then raised by intravenous bolus infusions of sodium nitroprusside and phenylephrine HCl, respectively. The slope of the relationship between MSNA and diastolic blood pressure was more negative ( P < 0.005) during the cold pressor test (−244.9 ± 26.3 units · beat−1 · mmHg−1) when compared with control conditions (−138.8 ± 18.6 units · beat−1 · mmHg−1), whereas no significant change in the slope of the relationship between heart rate and systolic blood pressure was observed. These data suggest that baroreceptors remain capable of modulating MSNA and heart rate during a cold pressor test; however, the sensitivity of baroreflex modulation of MSNA is elevated without altering the sensitivity of baroreflex control of heart rate.

Cardiovascular Variables

The influence of an endogenous opioid peptide (EOP) antagonist (naloxone, 1.2 mg iv bolus) on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, microneurography) was studied on 19 young male and female volunteers. Isometric handgrip, cold pressor test, and acute baroreceptor unloading with sodium nitroprusside (autonomic stresses) were carried out under two conditions, one group (n = 11) before (control responses) and after naloxone and another group (n = 8) before and after placebo saline. Monitored cardiovascular variables included heart rate, central venous pressure (jugular vein catheter), arterial blood pressure (radial artery catheter), circulating catecholamines, and forearm blood flow. At rest, cardiovascular variables and MSNA were not affected by either naloxone or saline. MSNA (total activity = burst frequency x burst amplitude/100 cardiac cycles) increased during isometric handgrip to a greater extent (30 +/- 6 vs. 16 +/- 5 arbitrary units) after naloxone compared with control trials (P less than 0.05). After naloxone, arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressures were higher during handgrip exercise. These augmented arterial pressures and MSNA responses were not evident during either the cold pressor test or the sodium nitroprusside stress. These data suggest that isometric muscle contraction elicits a sympathetic neural response that may be modified by EOP. This interaction is not evident during two other stresses, when sympathetic responses are equal to or greater than those provoked by isometric handgrip exercise.

Common Laboratory

The magnitude of the increases in blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in response to sympathoexcitatory stimuli such as static handgrip, postexercise ischemia, and the cold pressor test are commonly used to assess neurocardiovascular responsiveness. However, limited studies have comprehensively examined the reproducibility of these responses. We demonstrate that the reproducibility of the pressor response to these perturbations was very good within an individual, whereas the reproducibility of the MSNA response was less consistent.
