Neurocardiology denotes to pathophysiological & neuroanatomical interactions of the nervous & cardiovascular systems. The stress effects on the heart are studied in terms of the heart's interactions with both the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Clinical issues in neuro-cardiology include hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, neurogenic stress cardiomyopathy, cerebral embolism, encephalopathy, neurologic sequelae of cardiac & thoracic surgery and cardiac interventions, and cardiovascular findings in patients with primary neurological diseaseThe constant communication between the heart and the brain has proved invaluable to interdisciplinary fields of neurological and cardiac diseases. Variations in the neural rhythms provide evidence that a problem is present regarding physiologic regulation and help physicians determine the underlying condition quicker based on the given symptoms.
