Alterations in autonomic nervous control of heart rate among tourists at 2700 and 3700 m above sea level.
OBJECTIVES Many travelers who are not specially trained for activities at high altitude are at risk of physical problems, including cardiovascular disorders, when exposed to high-altitude environments. In the present study, we investigated how actual acute exposure to altitudes of 2700 and 3700 m affected the autonomic nervous control of heart rate in untrained office workers. METHODS Physiol...
متن کاملAutonomic nervous control of heart rate in muskrats during exercise in air and under water.
Neural control of the cardiac responses to exercise in air (running) and under water (diving) was studied in the muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) by means of acute pharmacological blockade with the muscarinic blocker atropine and the beta-adrenergic blocker nadolol. Saline injection was used as a control. Controls running on a treadmill showed a marked increase in heart rate with exercise. Atropine...
متن کاملHeart rate variability and heart rate in healthy volunteers. Is the female autonomic nervous system cardioprotective?
AIMS Heart rate variability has been proposed as an indicator of cardiovascular health. Since women have a lower cardiovascular risk, we hypothesized that there are gender differences in autonomic modulation. METHODS AND RESULTS In 276 healthy subjects (135 women, 141 men) between 18 and 71 years of age, 24 h heart rate and heart rate variability were determined. All heart rate variability pa...
متن کاملThe autonomic nervous system and cardiac GLP-1 receptors control heart rate in mice
OBJECTIVES Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is secreted from enteroendocrine cells and exerts a broad number of metabolic actions through activation of a single GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R). The cardiovascular actions of GLP-1 have garnered increasing attention as GLP-1R agonists are used to treat human subjects with diabetes and obesity that may be at increased risk for development of heart disease....
متن کاملControl of heart rate by the autonomic nervous system in acute spinal cord injury.
Spinal cord injury may cause loss of cardiovascular reflexes mediated by sympathetic drive due to interruption in the supraspinal control of spinal sympathetic motoneurons. The aim of this study was to analyze sympathovagal balance after acute spinal cord injury demonstrated by linear measures in time and frequency domain of heart rate variability (HRV). The study included 40 tatraplegic patien...
