Unilateral Carotid Body Resection in Resistant Hypertension:A Safety and Feasibility Trial [PDF]

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2016
SummaryAnimal and human data indicate pathological afferent signaling emanating from the carotid body that drives sympathetically mediated elevations in blood pressure in conditions of hypertension.

Carotid Body Chemoreceptors: Physiology, Pathology, and Implications for Health and Disease.

Physiological Reviews, 2021
The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor for arterial respiratory gases O2 and CO2, and pH, eliciting reflex ventilatory, cardiovascular and humoral responses to maintain homeostasis.

The carotid body detects circulating tumor necrosis factor-alpha to activate a sympathetic anti-inflammatory reflex

Brain, behavior, and immunity, 2021
Recent evidence has suggested that the carotid bodies might act as immunological sensors, detecting pro-inflammatory mediators and signalling to the central nervous system, which, in turn, orchestrates autonomic responses.

The potential role of the carotid body in COVID-19

American Journal of Physiology - Lung cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2020
The carotid body (CB) plays a contributory role in the pathogenesis of various respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases through reflex changes in ventilation and sympathetic output.

Autonomic Innervation of the Carotid Body as a Determinant of its Sensitivity - Implications for Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathology.

Cardiovascular Research, 2020
The motivation for this review comes from the emerging complexity of the autonomic innervation of the carotid body and its putative role in regulating chemoreceptor sensitivity.
