The association between sleep duration and muscle sympathetic nerve activity
PurposeSleep duration is associated with risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. It is thought that shorter sleep increases sympathetic...

The effect of hyperoxia on muscle sympathetic nerve activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis
PurposeWe conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effect of hyperoxia on muscle sympathetic nerve activity in healthy individuals and those with...

Effective non-invasive ventilation reduces muscle sympathetic nerve activity in patients with stable hypercapnic COPD
Increased sympathetic drive is of prognostic significance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but its determinants remain poorly...

Splanchnic sympathetic nerve denervation improves bacterial clearance and clinical recovery in established ovine Gram-negative bacteremia
BackgroundThe autonomic nervous system can modulate the innate immune responses to bacterial infections via the splanchnic sympathetic nerves. Here,...

Skin sympathetic nerve activity as a potential biomarker for overactive bladder
PurposeAbnormalities in autonomic function are associated with an overactive bladder (OAB). Heart rate variability is generally used as the sole...

Immediate effect of caffeine on sympathetic nerve activity: why coffee is safe? A single-centre crossover study
PurposesHabitual coffee drinking is ubiquitous and generally considered to be safe despite its transient hypertensive effect. Our purpose was to...

Differential effects of renal denervation on skin and muscle sympathetic nerve traffic in resistant and uncontrolled hypertension
PurposeRenal denervation (RDN) exerts sympathoinhibitory effects. No information is available, however, on whether these effects have a regional or a...

Sympathetic nerve innervation and metabolism in ischemic myocardium in response to remote ischemic perconditioning
Sympathetic nerve denervation after myocardial infarction (MI) predicts risk of sudden cardiac death. Therefore, therapeutic approaches limit infarct...

Effects of acute carotid baroreceptor stimulation on sympathetic nerve traffic in resistant and uncontrolled hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis
In resistant hypertensive patients acute carotid baroreflex stimulation is associated with a blood pressure (BP) reduction, believed to be mediated...

Absolute quantitation of sympathetic nerve activity using [123I] metaiodobenzylguanidine SPECT-CT in neurology
Background and purposeThe ability of [ 123 I]metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) sympathetic nerve imaging with three-dimensional (3D) quantitation to...

Advances in the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain by Sympathetic Regulation
Purpose of ReviewTo explore the mechanism and therapeutic effect of sympathetic nerve regulation on neuropathic pain.
Recent FindingsA comprehensive...

Massive sympathetic nerve infiltration in advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a case report and review of the literature
BackgroundAlveolar echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease that mostly affects the liver, with vascular invasion and a protean clinical symptom....

Effect of pulmonary vein isolation on the relationship between left atrial reverse remodeling and sympathetic nerve activity in patients with atrial fibrillation
PurposeCatheter ablation (CA) to isolate the pulmonary vein, which is an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), is associated with left...

Study Protocol for the Pleiotropic Effects of Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor on Organ-Specific Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Insulin Sensitivity in Participants with Type 2 Diabetes
IntroductionHyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia are associated with exaggerated systemic sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in patients with type 2...

Sympathetic overactivity and nocturnal diuresis in obstructive sleep apnea alter the response to hypertension therapy
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with high blood pressure that responds poorly to usual antihypertensive therapy.

Differential control of sympathetic outflow to muscle and skin during physical and cognitive stressors
PurposeSympathetic nerve activity towards muscle (MSNA) and skin (SSNA) regulates various physiological parameters. MSNA primarily functions in blood...

Prenatal LPS leads to increases in RAS expression within the PVN and overactivation of sympathetic outflow in offspring rats
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) are two major blood pressure-regulating systems. The link between the...

Cardiac sympathetic “morbidity” might reflect the neurobiology of early Parkinson’s disease
BackgroundAn appropriate extracranial biomarker that delineates endophenotypes of Parkinson’s disease (PD) at an early stage and reflects the...

Electroacupuncture pretreatment mediates sympathetic nerves to alleviate myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury via CRH neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus
BackgroundMyocardial ischemia–reperfusion can further exacerbate myocardial injury and increase the risk of death. Our previous research found that...
