  1. May 13, 2016 · The brain controls the heart directly through the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system, which consists of multi-synaptic pathways from myocardial cells back to peripheral ganglionic neurons and further to central preganglionic and premotor neurons.

  2. Hemispheric brain infarcts involving hippocampus can result in new-onset hypertension, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction and cardiac failure. 21 Hippocampal infarcts have a poor outcome as evidenced by the postmortem analysis, revealing an association of hippocampal infarcts with heart failure and sudden cardiac death. 22 Seizures attributed to hippocampal lesions are associated with ...

  3. Jul 3, 2007 · Neurocardiology has many dimensions, but it may be conceptualized as divided into 3 major categories: the heart’s effects on the brain (eg, cardiac source embolic stroke), the brain’s effects on the heart (eg, neurogenic heart disease), and neurocardiac syndromes (eg, Friedreich disease). The present review deals with the nervous system’s ...

  4. Feb 3, 2017 · A large network of cortical and subcortical brain regions control cardiovascular function via the sympathetic and parasympathetic outflow. A dysfunction in one system may lead to changes in the function of the other. The effects of cardiovascular disease on the nervous system have been widely studied; however, our understanding of the effects ...

  5. The Central Brain of the Heart. The publisher's final edited version of this article is available free at JACC Clin Electrophysiol. Spontaneous action potentials generated by the pacemaker cells of the sinoatrial node (SA) node are the first step in the chain of events that comprise each cardiac cycle. Despite the apparent lack of cellular ...

  6. Brain infarction and heart disease are linked by several pathogenetic mechanisms. Coronary artery disease, often asymptomatic, is common in patients with transient ischemic attacks. 11,12 Most patients who experience transient ischemic attacks will eventually die of a myocardial infarction. 11 Asymptomatic stenosis of the carotid artery, even when severe, is a better predictor of fatal ...

  8. Dec 8, 2023 · Abstract. Cardiac output is controlled by the autonomic nervous system to meet continually changing demands for the perfusion of systemic vascular beds. Dysfunction of autonomic control can contribute to a range of cardiopathies; conversely, robust autonomic function can help maintain a failing myocardium as heart diseases progress.
