Research into cardiac autonomic control has received great interest in the past 20 years,
and we are now at a critical juncture with regard to the clinical translation of the experimental …

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) with its two limbs, the sympathetic (SNS) and
parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), plays a critical role in the modulation of cardiac …

Rationale: Cardiac function is under exquisite intrinsic cardiac neural control. Neuroablative
techniques to modulate control of cardiac function are currently being studied in patients …

The cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an integral role in normal cardiac
physiology as well as in disease states that cause cardiac arrhythmias. The cardiac ANS …

Aging is a major risk factor for impaired cardiovascular health. Because the aging
myocardium is characterized by microcirculatory dysfunction, and because nerves align with …

This virtual workshop was convened by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, in
partnership with the Office of Strategic Coordination of the Office of the National Institutes of …

Purpose Cardiac autonomic dysfunction is one of the main pillars of cardiovascular
pathophysiology. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of …

Rationale: 3′, 5′-cAMP is a ubiquitous second messenger which, upon β-AR (β-
adrenergic receptor) stimulation, acts in microdomains to regulate cardiac excitation …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting millions of people
worldwide. The cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) is widely recognized as playing a …

It is increasingly recognized that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a major contributor
in many cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac ANS can be divided into extrinsic and intrinsic parts …
