Sympathetic Nervous System Activation and Its Modulation: Role in Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
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 ...

The autonomic nervous system in atrial fibrillation—pathophysiology and non-invasive assessment

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
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 ...

Overfeeding, Autonomic Regulation and Metabolic Consequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the regulation of body processes in health and disease. Overfeeding and obesity (a disproportional increase of the fat mass of the body) are often accompanied by alterations in both sympathetic and ...

The orexinergic system mediates the excitatory effects of caffeine on the arousal and sympathetic activity

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Objective: Caffeine is a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist with pro-arousal and pro-sympathetic nervous system excitatory effects, and these pharmacological effects fit well with the physiological functions of orexin.

Differences in sympathetic nervous response due to gender [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityThe sympathetic nervous system, in addition to its many roles as part of the autonomic nervous system, utilizes contact with many organs in the body to recruit them for an immediate response to danger.

Multimodal Autonomic Biomarkers Predict Phenoconversion in Pure Autonomic Failure

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pure autonomic failure (PAF) presents with autonomic failure without other neurological features. A third develop central neurological features, fulfilling criteria for multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body diseases (LBD), including Parkinson's disease and Dementia with Lewy bodies.

Sympathetic hyperactivity in patients with hypertension: pathogenesis and treatment. Part II

open access: yesКардиоваскулярная терапия и профилактика, 2021
The second part of the review considers different classes of drugs affecting blood pressure in increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Additional possibilities are discussed on how to reduce the negative effect of sympathetic hyperactivity ...

Angiotensinergic innervation of rat and human mesenteric resistant blood vessels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In contrast to the current believe that angiotensin II (Ang II) only interacts with the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) as a circulating hormone, we document here the existence of an endogenous renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the sympathetic coeliac ...
