We evaluated autonomic cardiovascular modulation and baroreflex control of heart rate
(HR) in a particular epileptic rat strain, Wistar audiogenic rats (WARs). We studied
spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity as well as reflex changes in HR evoked by
phenylephrine/nitroprusside-induced changes in arterial pressure (AP). Atropine and
propranolol were used to measure cardiac autonomic tone. AP and pulse interval (PI)
variability analysis were performed in the time and frequency domains (FFT spectral�…
