“Heart Appearance” In Brain

O12: The Heart and the Brain: Stroke Induced Heart Damage

Cardiac diseases are common post-stroke and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. One possible mechanism of acute cardiac injury is the neurogenic myocardial damage, where the cerebral injury is disturbing the normal sympathetic and parasympathetic neuronal outflow to the heart leading to cardiac damage including myocardial infarctions. The exact mechanism is not completely und...

Study of Basement Membrane Type IV Collagen Appearance in the Brain Choroids Plexus of Mouse Fetuses

Introduction & Objective: The brain choroids plexus (BCP) plays an important role in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, but its characterization is still incomplete. Collagen type IV, is one of the most important proteins of basement membrane (BM) and extracellular matrix (ECM) of BCP. In the present study we investigated the differential period of type IV collagen in basement membrane...

Coronary-pulmonary artery fistula: Heart-on-a-heart appearance

A 67-year-old man presented with left-sided chest discomfort to our department. His medical history was unremarkable. The physical examination revealed a continuous murmur at the left mid-sternal border. ECG imaging and cardiac enzymes were normal. The echocardiography revealed no wall motion abnormality. Coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography was performed to evaluate the coronary arter...

Heart in the brain.

Heart-Brain Coherence; Heart-Rate Variability (HRV); Reading Anxiety; TestEdge Program

Based on psychophysiological research, coherent heart-brain interaction can change afferent cardiac signal pattern sent to the brain. Accordingly, the present study aimed at facilitating the emotion-cognition interaction through HeartMath Institute self-regulated emotional techniques to investigate the efficacy of heart-brain coherence on reading anxiety reduction that significantly enhances at...
