Pathophysiologic mechanisms linking impaired cardiovascular health and neurologic dysfunction: the year in review

Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine
Ki E Park, Carl J Pepine

Abstract

The nervous system and cardiovascular system have long been known to interact. Only more recently, however, have the mechanisms driving this interaction become more clearly understood. Although many psychological disturbances, including depression and anxiety, are known to predict poor outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease, other neurologic disturbances, such as migraine and stroke, have been connected to poor cardiovascular outcomes as well. Although these connections were traditionally thought to be due to shared risk factors, recent research has focused on pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying these interactions, including neuroendocrine dysregulation, genetic predisposition, and vascular dysfunction.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
