- * Early detection is crucial, as the combination of these conditions worsens patient prognosis without proper intervention, and diagnosing can be achieved through clinical signs and non-invasive tests.
- * Percutaneous treatment for aortic valve disease shows better survival outcomes compared to medical therapy alone, and while cardiac amyloidosis does not significantly affect survival post-valve replacement, it may lead to higher rehospitalization rates; disease-modifying treatments for amyloidosis are also under consideration for improving patient outcomes.

Changes in brain activity regulate and support these phenomena. However, the heterogeneity of meditation practices and their cultural background, as well as their poor categorization limit the generalization of results to all types of meditation.

The heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) is an EEG fluctuation reflecting the cortical processing of cardiac signals. We recently found higher HEP amplitude during exhalation than inhalation during a task involving attention to cardiac sensations.
