About this Research Topic
The autonomic nervous system is composed of peripheral neurons regulated by the central nervous system that supplies involuntary functions, i.e. cardiac function, salivary gland activity, gastrointestinal activity, body temperature, etc. The aim of this Research Topic is to provide studies related to the relevance of autonomic dysfunction for cardiovascular risk. Submissions providing new evidence concerning the interaction between the autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular diseases are welcome.
This Research Topic intends to provide recent studies regarding the association between cardiovascular and autonomic nervous systems. Basic and clinical studies are encouraged to be submitted. Basic studies are expected to offer new insights into the role of the central nervous system in the autonomic regulation of blood pressure and heart rate. Cardiovascular and hidroelectrolytic changes induced by autonomic mechanisms are also welcome. Clinical papers are encouraged to focus on autonomic dysfunction and cardiovascular disorders analyzed through heart rate variability, baroreflex sensitivity, skin conductance, and electroneuromyography. Cardiovascular risk evaluated through autonomic tests in this Research Topic will also provide novelties concerning prevention strategies. Both basic and clinical studies regarding the interaction between autonomic nervous and cardiovascular systems aim to promote well-being, in accordance with 3 goals of the United Nations, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/health/). This is because the purpose of science applied to the autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular risk is to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserve the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
