Higher sympathetic transduction is independently associated with greater very short-term diastolic blood pressure variability in young healthy males and females.

These data suggest that augmented transduction may contribute to greater blood pressure fluctuations that could, over time, lead to a pathological cardiovascular phenotype and blood pressure dysregulation. Larger vasoconstrictor responses to MSNA bursts lead to higher pressor responses, which could contribute to greater blood pressure fluctuations (i.e., larger blood pressure variability).
