(19) The presence of cardiovascular hyperreactivity together with the absence of noncardiovascular hyperreactivity in HT indicates heightened SNS-activity specific to the cardiovascular system and not part of generalized SNS-arousal.
(20) In this study, therefore, we measured hypercapnic ventilatory responsiveness (HCVR) and spirometry in 13 healthy male subjects (18 to 30 yr of age) after two consecutive nights of severe sleep fragmentation (arousal to an auditory stimulus after each minute of sleep) and compared the results with those obtained in the same subjects after normal sleep.
Fap
Definition:
(a.) Fuddled.
Example Sentences:
