Heart failure and sympathetic nervous system

The book "Heart Failure and Sympathetic Nervous System" offers a comprehensive analysis of the role of the sympathetic nervous system in heart failure. It highlights the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which operates independently of our will and controls various organs in the body. In particular, it examines the activation of the sympathetic nervous system in stressful situations that lead to increased blood pressure and heart rate. The work focuses on the dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system in various models of heart failure, including isolated right heart failure and heart transplantation. By presenting in-vivo studies on affected patient groups, it provides a deep understanding of the connections between sympathetic activation and heart diseases. The author, Agnieszka Ciarka, offers valuable insights into the structure and function of the sympathetic nervous system and its significance for cardiovascular health.
