Description
Neurocardiology
Book Summary
This pioneering work in Spanish offers a comprehensive and detailed approach to neurocardiology, a discipline that explores the complex interaction between the nervous system and the heart. From basic research to clinical practice, the book covers high-prevalence pathologies such as diabetes, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, and arterial hypertension. With a modern approach based on the neural hierarchy, the authors present the structure and function of the cardiac nervous system, providing the reader with the keys to understanding and treating neurocardiological diseases from a multidisciplinary perspective.
What is it about?
Neurocardiology is the first book published in Spanish that exhaustively addresses the bidirectional relationship between the brain and the heart. The work is structured around the pathophysiological and clinical foundations of neurocardiological diseases, examining both the normal functioning of the cardiac nervous system and its role in various pathologies. The authors, prestigious international specialists selected for their research experience, present innovative content that integrates basic research with clinical application. Topics such as the neural regulation of cardiovascular functions, the impact of systemic diseases on the heart-brain axis, and the clinical implications for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders prevalent in today's society are explored.
Main Topics
- Structure and function of the cardiac nervous system from a hierarchical approach.
- Pathophysiology of neurocardiological diseases, including diabetes, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, and arterial hypertension.
- Neural regulation of cardiovascular functions and its dysfunction in pathological states.
- Basic research translated into clinical practice in neurocardiology.
- Multidisciplinary approach for the management of patients with concurrent cardiac and neurological pathologies.
Who is it recommended for?
This book is aimed at cardiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, specialists in intensive care and internal medicine, as well as researchers and healthcare professionals interested in the intersection between the nervous and cardiovascular systems. It is also of great use to postgraduate students and physicians in training seeking a deep and updated understanding of the neurocard iological bases of prevalent diseases.
