Differential distribution of muscle and skin sympathetic nerve activity in patients with end-stage renal disease.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is characterized by resting sympathetic overactivity. Baseline muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), which is governed by baroreflexes and chemoreflexes, is elevated in ESRD. Whether resting skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA), which is independent from baroreflex and chemoreflex control, is also elevated has never been reported in renal failure. The purpos...
متن کاملSympathetic nerve activity in the congenital long-QT syndrome.
BACKGROUND Patients with congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) are susceptible to life-threatening arrhythmias. The sympathetic nervous system may have an important triggering role for cardiovascular events in LQTS. We therefore examined measurements of sympathetic neural traffic in patients with LQTS and matched control subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve patients with congenital LQTS and 12 h...
متن کاملDissociation between muscle and skin sympathetic nerve activity in essential hypertension, obesity, and congestive heart failure.
Essential hypertension, obesity, and congestive heart failure are characterized by an increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity. Whether in these conditions skin sympathetic nerve activity is also increased has never been systematically examined, however. In 10 untreated mild essential hypertensive, 12 untreated normotensive obese, 10 mild (New York Heart Association class II) heart failure...
متن کاملEnhanced corticospinal excitability with physiologically heightened sympathetic nerve activity.
Corticospinal excitability is modulated differently with norepinephrine and dopamine agonists, although both monoamines are released with heightened sympathetic nerve activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of physiological heightening of sympathetic nerve activity on corticospinal excitability in healthy humans. Subjects were divided into control and experimental g...
متن کاملComparison of sympathetic nerve activity in normotensive and hypertensive subjects.
A microneurographic technique was used to record multiunit sympathetic activity in skin and muscle nerves of 24 healthy subjects and 21 hypertensive subjects. In both groups, the sympathetic activity recorded during rest appeared in bursts following one of two highly different temporal patterns—one characteristic for muscle nerves and the other characteristic for skin nerves. Muscle nerve sympa...
