Carotid Sinus Hypersensibility: A Concept on the Way
نویسنده
چکیده
This review examines the pathogenesis of Carotid Sinus Hypersensitivity (CSH) by describing the different hypotheses that exist in literature. One hypothesis is that CSH is not a disease of the heart but of the central and/or peripheral nervous system where the heart is the victim. CSH is associated with cognitive disturbance, vasovagal syncope and orthostatic hypotension. Another hypothesis is that the CSH is considered a syndrome or a symptom associated with different diseases so as to require a diagnostic framework. This Hypothesis is the basis of frequent recurrences that are associated with the pacemaker implant therapy only.

Report of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery
Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...
متن کاملThe frequency-dependent nature of blood pressure regulation by the carotid sinus studied with an electric analog.
Amplification of carotid sinus activity of a dog is brought about through the use of an electric analog of the carotid sinus applied in parallel with this element of the dog's own pressure regulating system. Sinusoidal excursions in arterial pressure in response to corresponding variations, between fixed limits, in rate of stimulus of one vagus nerve were larger with carotid sinus amplification...
متن کاملCarotid sinus baroreceptor sensitivity in experimental heart failure.
Single-unit carotid sinus baroreceptor activity was recorded in normal and heart-failure (pacing-induced) dogs. The sensitivity of these units was compared between the two groups of dogs. After development of clinical heart failure, the animals were anesthetized, and the left carotid sinus was vascularly isolated and perfused with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit solution. Single-unit baroreceptor di...
متن کاملCarotid Sinus Baroreceptor Reflex Effects upon Myocardial Contractility.
• At the present time, the reflex effects of stimulation of the carotid sinus baroreceptors on atrial and ventricular dynamics are the subject of controversy. Several investigators have suggested that stimulation of the carotid sinus baroreceptors has a reflex negative inotropic effect directly upon cardiac performance." The work of Sarnoff and co-workers ° has adduced substantial evidence for ...
متن کاملEndovascular Approaches to the Carotid Cavernous Sinus for Endovascular Treatment of Carotid Cavernous Fistulas and Hormone Sampling
A precise knowledge of the venous morphology of the carotid cavernous sinus is essential in order to choose the appropriate access routes to the cavernous sinus. The sinus is trabeculated and subdivided in compartments. Newton and Potts 1 mentioned two parts, the anterior and posterior part. The anterior receives blood from the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV), inferior ophthalmic vein (IOV), sph...
