The interplay between the central nervous system and cardiac electrophysiology is fundamental, and becomes obvious each time one’s pulse quickens in response to stress. Normally, cardiac neurohormonal regulation is accomplished through the balanced effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic stimulation, along with the hormonal regulation of the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS)… View more

The Role of the Central Autonomic Nervous System and Psychosocial Factors in Microvascular Angina and Takotsubo Syndrome
Author(s): Mattia Cattaneo , E Pravatà , M Provenzi , et al Added: 3 years ago
Purpose: We hypothesised that takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and primary microvascular angina (MVA) may exhibit peculiar functional organisation of the central autonomic nervous system network (CAN) at rest, as well as specific psychological patterns, when compared to patients with acute MI (AMI). Design and methods: We prospectively enrolled patients in three groups: MVA, after TTS or AMI. Subjects… View more

Despite the clear improvements in clinical outcomes brought about by medical therapy with β-blockers, ACE inhibitors and aldosterone antagonists, as well as by device therapy with cardiac resynchronisation, many patients with chronic heart failure (HF) remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy. Symptomatic HF can have devastating consequences for the quality of life of individuals, and… View more

Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most frequently encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice and has become an emerging epidemic. AF is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidy such as stroke.1–3 Over 2.3 million people in the US are affected by AF: it is estimated that AF will affect more than 15 million Americans by 2050.3 The traditional risk factors implicated in the… View more
