Abstract Cardiovascular autonomic markers such as cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (CBS) and heart rate variability (HRV) decline with the aging process. Aerobic training (AT) may be able to improve HRV, suggesting that AT can alter neuroregulatory control over the heart, improving autonomic markers and cardiac protection. Together, age and AT can influence HRV, but not revert the overall effects of aging on the decline of physical performance and HRV. The aim of this study was to review studies and describe the […]

Abstract The objective of this study is to make a review of the narrative of coronary artery tortuosity (CAT) approaching several situations in clinical practice where tortuosity can have a relevant role, and also evaluate if tortuosity can be related to the presence of myocardial ischemia in patients without coronary obstruction using scientific evidences in medical literature. Textbook of applied Physiology in Cardiology with study of coronary circulation, theoretical articles with studies of Hemodynamics, Fluid and Mechanical Dynamic, and experimental […]
