Using HPS
Baroreceptor Reflex
The HPS simulator’s cardiovascular system automatically compensates for changing
hemodynamic conditions.
The Baroreceptor Gain (Overall) Factor adjusts the influence of mean arterial pressure
(MAP) on heart rate, contractility, systemic vascular resistance and venous capacity.
Use the Baroreceptor Gain (Overall) Factor to adjust how vigorously the heart and
vasculature respond to blood pressure changes.
Selecting Baroreceptor Gain (Overall) Factor
A Value above 1.00, the default, causes a stronger response to MAP changes. A Value
less than 1.00 corresponds to baroreceptor depression.
The Baroreceptor Gain (Overall) Factor parameter can be located under the Systemic
menu.
