Cardiac parasympathetic activity may be non-invasively investigated using heart rate
variability (HRV), although HRV is not widely accepted to reflect sympathetic activity …

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 …

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the activation of at least
several neurohumoral pathways that have a common role in maintaining cardiac output and …

Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of
cardiovascular disease, including congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. Despite …

Background Myocardial infarction (MI) induces remodeling in stellate ganglion neurons
(SGNs). Objective We investigated whether infarct site has any impact on the laterality of …

The two branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), adrenergic and cholinergic, exert
a multitude of effects on the human myocardium thanks to the activation of distinct G protein …

The nervous system and cardiovascular system develop in concert and are functionally
interconnected in both health and disease. This white paper focuses on the cellular and …

The heart is a functional syncytium controlled by a delicate and sophisticated balance
ensured by the tight coordination of its several cell subpopulations. Accordingly …

Cardiac function is under the control of the autonomic nervous system, composed by the
parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions, which are finely tuned at different hierarchical …

Among the chemokines discovered to date, nineteen are presently considered to be relevant
in heart disease and are involved in all stages of cardiovascular response to injury …
