We have investigated the role of NO-dependent mechanisms in the realization of cardiogenic reflexes (pressor and depressor) during the action of veratrin and serotonin on cardiac receptors, adrenergic changes of the myocardial contractile activity or the short-term period of myocardial ischemia on anaesthetized dogs cats and rats. NO take place in the development of cardiogenic depressor reflexes and decreases pressor reflexes from the cardiac receptors in dogs. Specific characteristics of these influences were asserted: the depressor reflexes decrease after systemic inhibition of NOS by L-NNA in dog but they are increased or are not altered in rats. The depressor reaction in rats diminished after inhibition of nNOS performing by 7-nitroindazole. We affirm that NO-dependent influences have a compensatory effect in the course of acute alterations of the coronary blood flow and our statement concerning the advantageous role of NO-dependent mechanisms in the realization of self-regulatory reactions of circulation that connected with vagus nerve.

Myocardial ischemia causes the production and release of metabolites such as bradykinin, which stimulates cardiac spinal sensory afferents, causing chest pain and an increase in sympathetic activity referred to as the cardiogenic sympathetic afferent reflex. While the brain stem nuclei, such as the nucleus tractus solitarius and rostral ventrolateral medulla, are essential in the cardiogenic sympathetic afferent reflex, the role of other supramedullary nuclei in the cardiogenic sympathetic afferent reflex are not clear. The dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) is involved in cardiovascular sympathetic regulation and plays an important role in the sympathetic response to stressful stimuli.

Myocardial ischemia causes the release of bradykinin, which activates afferent nerve endings in the ventricular epicardium. This elicits a sympathetically mediated increase in arterial pressure and heart rate, referred to as the cardiogenic sympathetic afferent reflex. The rostroventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is a key sympathetic brain stem site for regulating cardiovascular activity.

The autonomic nervous system plays a key role in maintaining body hemostasis through both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Sympathetic overstimulation as a reflex to multiple pathologies, such as septic shock, brain injury, cardiogenic shock, and cardiac arrest, could be harmful and lead to autonomic and immunologic dysfunction. The continuous stimulation of the beta receptors on immune cells has an inhibitory effect on these cells and may lead to immunologic dysfunction through enhancing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10), and inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1B IL-1B and tissue necrotizing factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).

Purpose: Syncope remains a common medical problem. Recently, the role of dedicated syncope units and implantable loop recorders has emerged in the investigation of unexplained syncope. This study aims to investigate the possibilities for a more rational and targeted use of various diagnostic tools.

Adam, a justice-involved young man, was brought into the emergency department at the county hospital in cardiogenic shock due to a recurring episode of injection-drug-use-related infective endocarditis (IDU-IE). Adam had initiated injection opioid use in prison. He was surgically treated for the previous episodes of IDU-IE but was unable to fully recover due to limitations in care within penal medicine.
