Key points • Heart rate increases during exercise due to withdrawal of cardiac parasympathetic
tone and increased cardiac sympathetic nerve activity. • We investigated the autonomic …

Neutrophils and monocytes are key components of the innate immune system that undergo
age-associated declines in function. This study compared the impact of high-intensity interval …

Key points Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with an
increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Increased sympathetic nerve activity and reduced …

Objective. Corrected QT (QTc) interval predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and
may contribute to the increased mortality risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Animal experiments …

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by
reduced heart rate variability (HRV) of unknown cause. We tested the hypothesis that low …

Key points A surge in cortisol during acute physiological and pathophysiological stress may
precipitate ventricular arrhythmia and myocardial infarction. Reduced cardiovagal baroreflex …

Background Defining diastolic slow-conduction channels within the borderzone (BZ) of scar-dependent
re-entrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) is key for effective mapping and ablation …
