The control of ventilation and cardiovascular function during physical activity is partially
regulated by the ergoreflex, a cardiorespiratory reflex activated by physical activity. Two …

The cardiovascular response to exercise is largely determined by neurocirculatory control
mechanisms that help to raise blood pressure and modulate vascular resistance which, in …

Capsaicin (CAP) activates the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel on
sensory neurons, improving ATP production, vascular function, fatigue resistance, and thus …

Passive exercise/movement has a long history in both medicine and physiology. Early
clinical applications of passive exercise/movement utilized pneumatic and direct limb …

Chronic heart failure (HF) is a complex multiorgan syndrome characterized by
pathophysiological changes in cardiac, vascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and …

Advanced aging, vascular dysfunction, and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability are recognized
risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the contribution of AD, per se, to this …

Autonomic alterations at the onset of exercise are critical to redistribute cardiac output
towards the contracting muscles while preventing a fall in arterial pressure due to excessive …

Key points The increase in blood pressure observed during physical activities is
exaggerated in patients with hypertension, exposing them to a higher cardiovascular risk …

Background The aim of the present work was to study the influence of body position on
resting and exercise pulmonary hemodynamics in patients assessed for pulmonary …
