This review examines how the sympathetic nervous system plays a major role in the
regulation of cardiovascular function over multiple time scales. This is achieved through …

The potent mineralocorticoid aldosterone has a multifaceted role in the pathogenesis of
congestive heart failure. In addition to its contribution to salt and water retention, it also …

Patients with cardiovascular disease show autonomic dysfunction, including sympathetic
activation and vagal withdrawal, which leads to fatal events. This review aims to place …

Sympathetic vasomotor nerves play a major role in determining the level of arterial blood
pressure and the distribution of cardiac output. The present review will discuss briefly the …

The volume of extracellular fluid (ECF) is maintained within narrow limits in normal human
subjects, despite day-to-day variations in dietary intake of salt and water over a wide range …

Neuronal elements distributed throughout the cardiac nervous system, from the level of the
insular cortex to the intrinsic cardiac nervous system, are in constant communication with …

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the effects of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) on systemic
and regional sympathetic nervous activity (SNA) in both patients with congestive heart …

In the rabbit, vagotomy combined with arterial baroreceptor denervation abolishes the renal
sympathoinhibition elicited by volume expansion. However, the effect of removing …

The regulation of sympathetic nerve activity in chronic heart failure (CHF) has been an area
of renewed investigation. Understanding the central mechanisms that are responsible for …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a crucial indicator of cardiovascular health. Low HRV is
correlated with disease severity and mortality in heart failure. Heart rate increases and …
