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).
Neurocardiology refers to the pathophysiological interplays of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. [3] The constant communication between the heart and the brain have proved invaluable to the interdisciplinary fields of neurological and cardiac diseases.
The field of neurocardiology is still in its infancy, yet its importance was recognized in 1628 by William Harvey when he noted: “For every affection of the mind that is attended with either pain or pleasure, hope or fear, is the cause of an agitation whose influence extends to the heart.“
Neurocardiology refers to (patho)physiological interplays of the nervous and cardiovascular systems [2]. Baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability are important parameters in understanding the influence of the autonomic nervous system on both heart and brain activity [3, 4].
Research has shown that the heart communicates to the brain in four major ways: neurologically (through the transmission of nerve impulses), biochemically (via hormones and neurotransmitters), biophysically (through pressure waves) and energetically (through electromagnetic field interactions).
Neurocardiology is an emerging specialty that addresses the interaction between the brain and the heart, that is, the effects of cardiac injury on the brain and the effects of brain injury on the heart.
Neurocardiology refers to the interplay between the nervous system and the cardiovascular system. Stress-related cardiomyopathy exemplifies the brain–heart connection and occurs in several conditions with acute brain injury that share oversympathetic activation.
The term “neurocardiology” refers to physiologic and pathophysiological interplays of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. This selective review provides an update about cardiovascular therapeutic implications of neurocardiology, with emphasis on disorders involving primary or secondary abnormalities of catecholamine systems.
Clinical neurocardiology links the substrate of the heart and the neurohumoral control systems that regulate it, and provides clinically applicable avenues for neuroscience‐based therapies.
