Autonomic Nervous System Disturbances in Cardiovascular Disorders
نویسنده
چکیده
The autonomic nervous system is a crucial component in regulatory responses of the cardiovascular system. There has been increasing evidence of research demonstrating that dysregulation of this system has an important role in the pathogenesis of common cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, cardiac sudden death or neurally-mediated syncope. This paper focuses the clinical perspective of the role of autonomic activity in various pathological states and introduces the potential impact of targeting autonomic modulation as an option in cardiovascular therapies.
