The heart is a central component of blood pressure regulation, acting as a pump within the homeostatic system [1] and receiving direct neural control and afferent signaling as part of the autonomic regulation process [2]. Furthermore, the heart is explicitly recognized as a primary organ involved in the physiological regulation of blood pressure alongside the kidneys and blood vessels [3].

claimBlood pressure regulation is a physiological phenomenon studied under the homeostatic paradigm, involving the heart (as a pump), blood vessels (which constrict and relax), and kidneys (which manage blood volume by filtering fluid and conserving sodium).
claimHomeostatic schematics of blood pressure regulation typically highlight the brainstem centers of the autonomic nervous system, direct neural control and afferent signaling between the brain, heart, and blood vessels, and neural ganglia at the kidneys.
claimThe adrenal glands, lungs, and liver are recognized as playing roles in the regulation of blood pressure alongside the heart, vessels, and kidneys.
