Stimulation Along the Vagal Pre and Postganglionic Pathway to Selectively Enhance Vagal Tone to the Heart
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives: Sympathetic overactivity and vagal withdrawal are cardinal presentations in patients with heart failure that predisposes them to malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. To develop therapy to enhance vagal tone and regain autonomic balance we conducted stimulation recruitment tests at three locations along the cardiac vagal

The Inhibitory Effect of Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam. on Gastric Acid Output at Basal, Vagotomized and Vagal Stimulated Conditions in Rat
Objective(s) Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam. is a plant widely used in Iranian traditional medicine for gastrointestinal disorders. Several reports have demonstrated antibacterial (Helicobacteria pylori), antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties of Z. clinopodioides. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aqueous- ethanol extract of Z. clinopodioides on rat’s gastric acid ou...
متن کاملVagus nerve stimulation alters regional acetylcholine turnover in rat heart.
The turnover of neurotransmitter is a direct measure of neuronal function, varying with the impulse activity of the nerve. It is not known if vagal stimulation increases acetylcholine release uniformly throughout the heart, or if modification of neural signals occurs between the vagal nerve trunks and postganglionic synaptic terminals. The rate constant of acetylcholine turnover was measured in...

متن کاملCardiac sympathetic nerve stimulation does not attenuate dynamic vagal control of heart rate via alpha-adrenergic mechanism.
Complex sympathovagal interactions govern heart rate (HR). Activation of the postjunctional beta-adrenergic receptors on the sinus nodal cells augments the HR response to vagal stimulation, whereas exogenous activation of the presynaptic alpha-adrenergic receptors on the vagal nerve terminals attenuates vagal control of HR. Whether the alpha-adrenergic mechanism associated with cardiac postgang...
متن کاملHeart rate-independent vagal effect on end-systolic elastance of the canine left ventricle under various levels of sympathetic tone.
BACKGROUND Although we have shown that in rabbits the direct (heart rate [HR]-independent) vagal effect on left ventricular end-systolic elastance (E(es)) was negligible under minimal sympathetic tone, how underlying sympathetic tone modulates the inotropic response to vagal stimulation remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We used an isolated canine heart preparation with functioning autonomi...
