Autonomic innervation of the cardio-vascular system in normal tension glaucoma patients
Purpose: to determine whether there is any difference in autonomic innervation of the cardio-vascular system in normal tension glaucoma (NtG) patients and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.Methods: 30 NtG patients, 30 POAG patients and 22 ...

Sympathetic regulation of vascular function in health and disease
The sympathetic nervous system is known to play a pivotal role in short- and long-term regulation of different functions of the cardiovascular system. In the past decades increasing evidence demonstrated that sympathetic neural control is involved not ...

Baroreflex Modulation During Acute High-Altitude Exposure in Rats
Baroreflex (BR) control is critically dependent of sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation. It has been documented that during acute hypobaric hypoxia there is a BR control impairment, however, the effect of a natural hypoxic environment on BR ...

A cholinergic-sympathetic pathway primes immunity in hypertension and mediates brain-to-spleen communication [PDF]
The crucial role of the immune system in hypertension is now widely recognized. We previously reported that hypertensive challenges couple the nervous drive with immune system activation, but the physiological and molecular mechanisms of this connection ...

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

The autonomic nervous system in atrial fibrillation—pathophysiology and non-invasive assessment
The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in atrial fibrillation pathophysiology. Parasympathetic hyperactivity result in a shortening of the action potential duration, a reduction of the conduction wavelength, and as such facilitates reentry in ...

Sympathetic Nervous System Activation and Its Modulation: Role in Atrial Fibrillation
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) has a significant influence on the structural integrity and electrical conductivity of the atria. Aberrant activation of the sympathetic nervous system can induce heterogeneous changes with arrhythmogenic potential ...

Sympathetic Nervous System and Hypertension [PDF]
With the development and implementation of device-based therapeutic interventions to decrease renal and systemic nerve activity in patients with resistant hypertension, there has been an increase in research dealing with the role of the sympathetic nervous system in hypertension. These interventions have produced substantial decreases in blood pressure
