This study tests whether the power spectrum of blood pressure (BP) provides information toward the sympathovagal balance of BP control by comparing the BP (femoral arterial catheter) spectrum with the spectrum of the efferent sympathetic nerve activity (SNA, bipolar electrode around splanchnic nerve). A remarkable resemblance between both spectra was found. A high-frequency component (HF) linked to respiration and a slower fluctuation type between 0.15 and 0.6 Hz (LF) were identified. There was a large and significant coherence only in the HF range of the BP and SNA power spectrum (P < 0.01). The phase lag of SNA and BP was roughly 200 ms. The recordings were repeated during pharmacological blockade in nine Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and nine spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). alpha 1-Adrenoceptor blockade (prazosin) reduced the proportional LF power of BP in both rat strains (WKY P < 0.01, SHR P < 0.05) in favor of HF (WKY P < 0.01, SHR P < 0.01). Parasympathetic blockade (methylscopolamine) had no effect on proportions of power. Similarly, there were no significant differences in the proportional HF and LF power spectra of WKY and SHR. These data provide direct evidence for a relationship between the BP and SNA power spectra; however, only the acute changes in the sympathetic tone changed the LF-HF relationship.
