Description for Basic and Clinical Neurocardiology
This book looks at how neurons from the level of the heart to the sensorium exert control over cardiac electrical and mechanical events over a lifetime. The book's strength is in the tying together of scientific and clinical information on how the components of neural control of the heart remodel during the evolution of cardiac pathologies. Editor(s): Armour, J.Andrew; Ardell, Jeffrey L. Num Pages: 480 pages, numerous line drawings and 4 halftones. BIC Classification: MFGC; MFGG; MJD; MMG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 164 x 32. Weight in Grams: 834.
The progression of heart disease is associated with changes in the neurohumoral mechanisms that control cardiac function. The degree to which this neurohumoral remodelling occurs, even before overt signs of cardiac disease become manifest, is important for prognosis. To determine why some patients experience sudden death while others sustain life in the presence of severely compromised cardiac function, the neuronal control of cardiac electrical and mechanical events must be considered. Starting at the level of individual neurons and building upwards, this book describes the synergistic interactions that occur among intrathoracic and CNS feedback loops to permit precise control of ...
