Spontaneous Rhythms in Physiological Control Systems
Abstract
MEAN arterial blood pressure in man undergoes spontaneous and broadly repetitive fluctuations with a typical period of about 10 s. We present an explanation for these fluctuations which we believe may also be applicable to the vasomotor activity associated with thermoregulation and therefore widely relevant.
