Panel A demonstrates the relationship between muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and mean arterial pressure in a group of young healthy males. Panel B demonstrates the reciprocal relationship between MSNA and cardiac output in the subjects. This relationship helps explain why blood pressure is not consistently higher in subjects with high levels of MSNA. (Figure from ref 5)
