Heart rate and autonomic balance during stand tests before and after fighter combat missions.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: High workload during combat missions is a critical factor in the use of modern aircraft. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of piloting in war zones on the kinetics of the sympathovagal balance during recovery. METHODS: There were ... Read more...

Neuropeptide Y(1) Receptor NPY1R discovery of naturally occurring human genetic variants governing gene expression in cella as well as pleiotropic effects on autonomic activity and blood pressure in vivo.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: We asked whether naturally occurring genetic variation at the human NPY1R locus alters autonomic traits that might predispose individuals to cardiovascular disease. BACKGROUND: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) interacts with the Y(1) receptor, ... Read more...

Autonomic nervous system activity measured directly and QT interval variability in normal and pacing-induced tachycardia heart failure dogs.

23 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study sought to find out more about the relationship between sympathetic and vagal nerve activity and the cardiac repolarization in a canine model of pacing-induced tachycardia congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND: The QT ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Autonomic Nervous System'

Definition: The enteric, parasympathetic, and sympathetic nervous systems taken together. Generally speaking, the autonomic nervous system regulates the internal environment during both peaceful activity and physical or emotional stress. Autonomic activity is controlled and integrated by the central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus and the solitary nucleus, which receive information relayed from VISCERAL AFFERENTS; these and related central and sensory structures are sometimes (but not here) considered to be part of the autonomic nervous system itself.
