Traube-Hering-Mayer waves
Also known as:
Hering's waves
Traube's waves
Traube-Hering curves
Traube-Hering waves
Mayer's waves
Associated persons:
Karl Ewald Konstantin Hering
Siegmund Mayer
Ludwig Traube
Description:
Rhythmical variations in blood pressure, usually extending over several respiratory cycles, with a frequency varying from 6 to 10 cycles a minute, related to variations in vasomotor tone.
The phenomenon was discovered by Traube in 1865 and confirmed by Hering in 1869. In 1876 Siegmund Mayer observed similar oscillations.
According to some writers, Mayer's waves is a separate entity, described as oscillations of low frequency, non-synchronous with ventilatory pattern.
