The relationship between sympathetic nerve activity and the vasculature has been of great interest due to its potential role in various cardiovascular-related diseases. This relationship, termed “sympathetic transduction,” has been quantified using several different laboratory and analytical techniques. The most common method is to assess the association between relative changes in muscle sympathetic nerve activity, measured via microneurography, and physiological outcomes (e.g., blood pressure, total peripheral resistance, blood flow, etc.) in response to a sympathetic stressor (e.g., exercise, cold stress, orthostatic stress). This approach, however, comes with its own caveats. For instance, elevations in blood pressure and heart rate during a sympathetic stressor can have an independent impact on muscle sympathetic nerve activity. Another assessment of sympathetic transduction was developed by Wallin and Nerhed in 1982, where alterations in blood pressure and heart rate were assessed immediately following bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity at rest. This approach has since been characterized and further innovated by others, including the breakdown of consecutive burst sequences (e.g., singlet, doublet, triplet, and quadruplet), and burst height (quartile analysis) on specific vascular outcomes (e.g., blood pressure, blood flow, vascular resistance). The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the literature that has assessed sympathetic transduction using microneurography and various sympathetic stressors (static sympathetic transduction) and using the same or similar approach established by Wallin and Nerhed at rest (dynamic neurovascular transduction). Herein, we discuss the overlapping literature between these two methodologies and highlight the key physiological questions that remain.
