Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel with essential roles in cardiovascular, lung,
urinary, and immune functions. Piezo1 is widely distributed in different tissues in the human …

Sudden death is an important but widely under-recognised consequence of stroke. Acute
stroke can disturb central autonomic control, resulting in myocardial injury …

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE POINT: COUNTERPOINT DEBATES This series of
debates was initiated for the Journal of Applied Physiology because we believe an important …

A powerful interaction between the autonomic and the immune systems plays a prominent
role in the initiation and maintenance of hypertension and significantly contributes to …

That the brain may be involved in cardiovascular regulation has been acknowledged for
over a century. That cardiac arrhythmias may result from cortical derangement has been less …

Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive measure of the function of the
autonomic nervous system, and its dynamic nature may provide a means through which …

Cortical representation of the heart challenges the orthodox view that cardiac regulation is
confined to stereotyped, preprogrammed and rigid responses to exteroceptive or …

Optimizing cerebral perfusion is key to rescuing salvageable ischemic brain tissue. Despite
being an important determinant of cerebral perfusion, there are no effective guidelines for …

Arterial baroreceptors provide a neural sensory input that reflexly regulates the autonomic
drive of circulation. Our goal was to test the hypothesis that a member of the acid-sensing …

Background and Purpose—Acute stroke is associated with impairment of cardiac autonomic
balance and increased incidence of arrhythmias. These abnormalities appear more relevant …
