Left bundle branch block with intermittent QRS axis switching: observation of a hypertensive patient for 18 years.

30 Aug 2009 A 64-year-old man who had been prescribed antihypertensive drugs since 1971 attended our clinic in 1988 with hypertension and electrocardiographic abnormalities. An electrocardiogram revealed left axis deviation (LAD) in 1988 and slightly prolonged ... Read more...

Influences of autonomic nervous system on atrial arrhythmogenic substrates and the incidence of atrial fibrillation in diabetic heart.

30 Aug 2009 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is clinically associated with an increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesized that neural remodeling enhances AF vulnerability in diabetic hearts. Eight weeks ... Read more...

Pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize recent developments in our understanding of the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome with a focus on the relationship between inflammation and exocrine dysfunction. RECENT FINDINGS: Animal models demonstrated the ... 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.
