Abstract
These findings are consistent with the concept that nocturnal hemodialysis increases baroreflex sensitivity via greater afferent baroreceptor responsiveness to pulsatile pressure. A more favorable risk profile, due to enhanced baroreflex regulation of the circulation and vascular compliance, may translate into lower cardiovascular event rates in ESRD patients receiving nocturnal hemodialysis.
