Funded Activity Summary

Opposite poles of blood pressure disorders will be tested. The first is low blood pressure disorders causing blackouts while standing. My hypothesis is that the mechanism is subnormal reflex sympathetic nervous system responses (the sympathetic nervous system is the stimulant division of the automatic branch of the nervous system(. The second focus is patients with severe high blood pressure, with high sympathetic activity, who I will treat with a device silencing the nerves of the kidneys.
