Article Abstract
Patients with carotid stenosis can receive indication for either carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS), with both techniques having an impact on the autonomic function and baroreflex control.Seventy carotid stenosis patients randomly assigned to CEA or CAS were enrolled. After exclusion of some recordings, 33 CEA (age 67.79 ± 5.32 yrs, 26 males) and 25 CAS (age 70.32 ± 3.63 yrs, 14 males) were admitted to analysis. Autonomic and baroreflex sensitivity markers were derived from the analysis of heart period and systolic arterial pressure spontaneous variability derived in supine position and during active standing (STAND), before (PRE) the intervention and after a 6 and 12-month follow-up (FU6, FU12).CEA had a preserved response of autonomic and baroreflex control to STAND in PRE and FU6, suggesting an early improvement. CAS had a similar response at PRE but a blunted one at the follow-ups. When directly compared, the two groups had a similar autonomic function, with CAS having a reduced baroreflex control in PRE and lower autonomic function at FU6. All the differences disappeared at the long-term follow-up, showing a similar long term effect of the surgical procedures, suggesting that CEA and CAS induced a similar long-term impairment of autonomic and baroreflex controls.

Vasomotor Symptoms of Menopause, Sympathetic Activity, and Blood Pressure in Postmenopausal Females.

Objectives: While evidence suggests an association between vasomotor symptoms (VMS; hot flushes and night sweats) and elevated blood pressure (BP), it remains unknown whether females who experience VMS have elevated muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), a major modulator of BP. We hypothesized that postmenopausal females with VMS would have elevated BP and MSNA at rest and during stress compared to age-matched females without VMS.
Methods: Participants were grouped based on whether they currently or previously experienced VMS (n=43) or never experienced VMS (non-VMS; n=26).

Enhancing Cardiovascular Autonomic Regulation in Parkinson's Disease Through Non-Invasive Interventions.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) often involves autonomic dysfunction, most notably impaired baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), which disrupts cardiovascular homeostasis and contributes to orthostatic hypotension (OH). Pharmacological and invasive treatments, including deep brain stimulation, have yielded inconsistent benefits and carry procedural risks, highlighting the need for safer, more accessible alternatives. In this systematic review, we evaluated non-invasive interventions-spanning somatosensory stimulation, exercise modalities, thermal therapies, and positional strategies-aimed at improving cardiovascular autonomic function in PD.

Background: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic kidney disease, leading to progressive renal function loss. Systemic arterial hypertension is a frequent early onset extrarenal manifestation with an incompletely understood pathogenesis. Therefore, this study investigated cardiovascular autonomic control at rest and during physiological sympathetic stimulation, along with humoral and urinary molecules involved in blood pressure (BP) regulation, in young ADPKD patients before hypertension and renal dysfunction onset.

Heart failure, a significant global health burden, is divided into heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), characterized by systolic dysfunction and diastolic stiffness, respectively. While HFrEF benefits from pharmacological and device-based therapies, HFpEF lacks effective treatments, with both conditions leading to high rehospitalization rates and reduced quality of life, especially in older adults with comorbidities. This review explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing autonomic neuromodulation for heart failure management.
