  2. Baroreflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroreflex

    Decreased blood pressure decreases baroreflex activation and causes heart rate to increase and to restore blood pressure levels. Their function is to sense pressure changes by responding to change in the tension of the arterial wall. [ 1 ]

    “So you can do things that will briefly lower your heart rate—like deep breathing and meditation—but if you are trying to lower your overall heart rate over a longer period of time, the ...

  4. Vagal tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagal_tone

    This relieves the suppression of vagal tone and leads to a decreased heart rate. [1] Heart rate (HR) (first row), tidal volume (Vt) (second row), Vt and superimposed HR (third row). The HR modulation is clearly visible: HR increases with inspiration and decreases with expiration. Heart rate (HR) (first row), ECG signal (ECG) (second row), and ...

  5. Valsalva maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva_maneuver

    This is due to the decreased preload in this phase, worsening the obstruction and thus accentuating the murmur. [3] At the same time, the Valsalva maneuver (phase II) decreases the intensity of most other murmurs, including those resulting from aortic stenosis and atrial septal defect. The decrease in murmur intensity occurs from a smaller ...

  6. Bainbridge reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bainbridge_reflex

    While the reflex may raise heart rate by as much as 40% to 60%, [7] initial attempts to replicate Bainbridge's observations were frequently unsuccessful [8] and this inconsistency was only explained in 1955 when Coleridge and Linden found that the type of heart rate response (increase or decrease) depended on the resting heart rate and the rate ...

  7. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

    Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. [1] In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. [1] Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).

  8. Sinoatrial node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinoatrial_node

    The G-protein also activates a potassium channel GIRK-1 and GIRK-4, which allows K + to flow out of the cell, making the membrane potential more negative and slowing the pacemaker potential, therefore decreasing the rate of action potential production and therefore decreasing heart rate. [20] A decrease in heart rate is known as negative ...

  9. Cardiovascular drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_drift

    A reduction in stroke volume is the decline in the volume of blood the heart is circulating, reducing the heart’s cardiac output. [6] The stroke volume is reduced due to loss of fluids in the body, reducing the volume of blood in the body. [7] This leads the increase in heart rate to compensate for the reduced cardiac output during exercise. [6]
