Abstract:

Blood pressure instability may promote cardiovascular morbidity. Recent data suggest a role of nitric oxide in stabilizing arterial blood pressure. A rise in blood pressure enhances endothelial shear stress and nitric oxide release. The resulting vasodilation antagonizes the initial increase in blood pressure. This system can respond within 2-10 seconds.
