Description The hypothesis that the age-dependent decrease of BRS and BRSf are caused by age-dependent increase of carotid wall thickness was investigated in the study presented. The positive correlation between age and IMT and negative correlation between age and BRSf are in agreement with the hypothesis that the age-dependent decrease of baroreflex sensitivity expressed in Hz/mmHg corresponds to the age-related structural changes of carotid wall.
