N2 - The cardiopulmonary reflex control of circulation (which, in man, depends largely on cardiac receptors) is impaired in hypertensive subjects who have left ventricular hypertrophy. To determine whether hypertension or cardiac hypertrophy per se is responsible for this, we studied nine sedentary normo- tensive subjects aged 23 ±1 years and nine age-matched normotensive weight-lifters with echocardiographic signs of left ventricular hypertrophy (left ventricular mass index for the weight-lifters: 134 ± 7; for the sedentary subjects: 99 ± 7 g/m2; P
